That causes laughs when we tell people that here because the economy is so bad.<BR/><BR/>He will officially be retired from the Army on November 1. He has been on what is called terminal leave since August 1. That's when you can take your accumulated leave and take off, like vacation or job hunting, or you can go ahead and start your new job. That's what my husband did.<BR/><BR/>We were also fortunate that he had very marketable job skills both from his undergraduate and graduate degrees and his area of specialty in the military, which was contracting/logistics/program management. He had several avenues open to him and if we had chosen to wait, we could have probably gone to another area of the country. We felt very strongly that God was leading us here.<BR/><BR/>The job here opened up in a fairly simple way. You'll remember we just moved from Virginia, where we had lived for two years. We had been in Illinois for six years prior to that, down by St. Louis, and the last two years of that he was assigned over at the Boeing Factory. His bosses were up here in Detroit, and he traveled here frequently. They took him under their wing, and for the last couple of years they all kept in touch and whenever he traveled to Detroit from Virginia, he always made sure to see them while he was in town. When they knew he was retiring, they were interested in him filling what ended up being much the same position he did in Illinois a few years ago, just here.<BR/><BR/>We always thought we would end up back in Illinois. Then we thought we might just stay in Virginia. But God closed all those doors pretty obviously. At the same time this door was fairly wide open and we really did feel like this was where we were supposed to be. I really like it here so far, and I think once I acclimate I'm going to love it.<BR/><BR/>~ KayrenKayrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735245416162284974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209767050363975413.post-4069785655305434612008-10-29T17:54:00.000-04:002008-10-29T17:54:00.000-04:00I love the basket for the books!

But I could get a basket, perhaps.
