So after spending almost 700 dollars on repairs for his car (that's only worth 1200) because we cant qualify or afford a new one, Jeff's tire blew out on him way to work this morning. Poor Jeff changed his first tire on the freeway at 7:45 this morning with it less then 20 degrees outside (in his only pair of slacks-his suit is too small now). The 100 dollars for the tire is daunting, but at least he didn't get hurt and all is well now.
Jeff has been working like mad to get rid of the massive inventory that was accumulated the two years before he got there. With trying to move the DataCom store into the Royal office they moved out inventory from June to Sept, which only adds tens of thousands of the stuff he needs to get rid of now. Jeff feels confident that he can get it somewhat under control by Sept, and make it so next years is 100% better.
My husband is wonderful- he works hard, plays with the boys, and even helps out with Blake at night (yeah Blake just started the wake up every three hours to be held phase and since he only wakes up at all once every couple months or so we accommodated him... now that it has lasted three nights...we are forcing him to cry it out.)
The job search is going and going. As of now we arent too hopeful since the national layoff numbers have increased so dramatically, and so we are grateful he even has a job. We are trying to not get excited about every contact he gets since most dont go too far. But as Evan always said to me before... it only takes one job-the job.

Good for Jeff. You are lucky to have a husband who works so hard and doesn't give up. He is also lucky to have a wife who believes he deserves the best and appreciates him. Good for you guys.
It's hard to comment when I talk to you everyday. It is kind of a miracle that we can do that. Laura and Terra, if you're reading, give mom a call once in a while. It's the weekend, so it should be free. I could call you, but I hate to get you at a bad time, so call when you can.
