New Job!

Ok, I have been waiting so long to post this. Matt officially has a new job with CSX (Railroad company). We are so very excited. 84 lumber has been hit really hard by the economy, so it was time to go. He will be leaving this Sunday for training in Atlanta for 6 weeks. Yes, he will be gone for Thanksgiving and maybe for Christmas, we are not sure how all of this will play out. Please be in prayer for him and us, he has lots of training to learn and tests to take. From my understanding we will only be able to go visit him on Sundays. He will be in class the other days. This is going to be really hard for Mattson he is such a Daddy's boy. I pray he adjusts well. Matt will have to travel alot the first year but hopefully it will be a good job for him and for our family. I will keep you posted with any details. Please be in prayer for us.

I will be praying for you. I know it will be hard for him to be gone that long (and especially at holidays) but you have to think about the future.

We will be praying for Matt & for you & the fam! I've been through a long unsure absence of a loved one. I'm not going to sugar coat it--IT will be hard!! BUT God will always be there for all of you! He will bring you his peace & comfort in some of the most unique ways! If you ever need anything, just call!
