Please pray for my husband to get a call on the resume he e-mail on Tuesday. Right now he is working in North Dakota and the job there is almost over without much chance of another gearing up. Here locally there is a cement plant being built and they are looking for skilled men. We would be sooo happy if he could work locally. In the last year we have seen him for 5 days in May, a week in August & 2 weeks in December.
 
Oh gosh, that would be so wonderful! I am praying for him and all of you:)!

I can't even imagine not seeing my husband for that long! You deserve some time with him!

It's my three boys that miss their Daddy the most.

That didn't sound right LOL - I miss him too.
 
It's tough to be separated that way. I'll be praying.

I know exactly what you meant though. You're an adult and can understand better then children. While you miss him, you know how to deal with it, while your boys just miss him and don't always know how to deal.
 
Crystal, Rhonda Fuer is my upline director, and she has told me wonderful things about you. Your reputation has extended all the way to Indiana.
 
Crystal your entire family is in my prayers.
 
Oh Crystal - I cannot imagine being w/o my DH for that long...and I know our son would be devestated. I will most definitely be praying that he can find something local. You need to be together!

I'm glad it's good, I'm known in my family as being a little too open and not very shy.:D I wish I could attend the cluster meeting Rhonda has, but it might get a little expensive to fly in and out for them.:rolleyes:

My DH called me this morning and said he didn't get a very good response from the recruiter on the phone today. So it's not really looking to good. Turn up the notch on those prayers ladies, I know anything is possible with the Lord on our side.
 
Praying harder:grumpy: (That's not a grumpy face...that is me scrunching up my face as a pray real hard!)
 
I'll be praying too.

OK I don't have network broadcasting in any form and I just now read about the plane going down today in NY. So I think God was a little busy today. Rightly so. Let all give it another try tomorrow.
 
Still saying prayers for you all Crystal:)!
