I'm employed again!

As you know if you read my last post, I got a phone call last night regarding a job offer. The manager working with me from American Funds (Capital Group) was letting me know that they were ready to make an offer and could do so whenever it was convenient for me. Since we were in the middle of dinner (and time to pray about it/calm myself down seemed like a *really* good idea), I told her I could give her a call this morning. Shortly thereafter, J and I agreed that this seems like God's will and is a wonderful opportunity. Unless their offer was terrible, I would accept it.
I spoke to her this morning and she went through about 20 minutes of details including training, time-off, benefits, pay, etc. etc. It was even better than I had *hoped* for, let alone expected. I accepted the position and will start training on the 30th of this month.
I called USAA and let them know I am no longer interested in the position there. I am a little bit sad about not getting those hours, but I am confident that this is the right decision!
Oh! They have also agreed to give me 3 days off in April (for Elizabeth's wedding), so I don't have to worry about dealing with that later!
Thank you to everyone who has been praying with us about this for the past few months. I continue to pray that Crazy Uncle's interviews today are going well and God will reveal His plans for him also.

Sorry, I thought it was in an older post. It is a customer service position dealing with investments in mutual funds.

Kayla, she *did* take the Depends job. She must really feel led to that job. It sounds like she got a sweet deal. That's what Napoleon Dynamite would say. Gosh!

Well, K, now that you have a job, it must be my turn. I've been refining my skills. "You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills..."

Thanks, everybody! I am super excited to get started, and determined to fully enjoy my last week of not working.
This actually *isn't* the job requiring Depends, these people will allow bathroom breaks! :)
