The start of a New Year 2010


2010!! Wow, a new decade! Both Daryl and I are hopeful for lots of changes this year-starting with Daryl's new job. He applied for an outside sales position with Lowes by way of a contact that I had at Starbucks. After a 3rd interview they were so impressed with his sales and people skills but felt he lacked the product knowledge. The managers, however, did not want to lose such a great sales person, so they offered him a full time position in another department with the prospect to promote him in the near future. The benefits are quite promising and Daryl always works hard no matter what the position. He is just so happy to be employed full time, with guaranteed pay and that he is not going door-to-door outside in the cold!!
Daryl also finished a 3rd interview for a ministry position with some amazing potential in the future! We will not know the outcome of this opportunity for another few weeks, so we'll keep you posted!!
This semester at Moody Theological Seminary, Daryl is taking 2 more classes; Preaching from the Old Testament and Apologetics & Evangelism. He's got a lot of reading and writing to do, but he loves every minute of it! His text books from class, have sparked many great conversations with friends and strangers.
I continue to work for Starbucks, but I am seeking other employment opportunities that will advance me in the professional world and provided better pay with the same benefits.
In March, we are soooo looking forward to traveling Orlando to visit Monica's family!! This trip can't come soon enough, since we haven't seen my family since their visit in September. There will be much needed rest, relaxing, visiting and warmth!!
