Deja Vu

As you know, Ryan's company has said they are closing his division.

It's all a little too eerily familiar to our last job loss...

• We live in the same town.
  
• We have the same friends calling and dropping by with job leads and concern. (When Megan Guinn came over and started listing all the ideas her husband had--exact same scenario as last time--I was a little spooked.)
  
• We are again contemplating having another child.
  
• We have friends again doorbell ditching us with goodies to lift our spirits. (Cute things like: "We hope you SKOR a job really QUIK". After Ryan accidently came home during a delivery--and discovered to REALLY cute little girls with a deer-in-the-headlights look leaving our door, the next delivery of Smoothie ingredients included this message: "ORANGE you glad you have such SMOOTHIE and sneaky friends?" So unnecessarily nice. Another example:).





• I am still SO grateful to be married to Mr. BudgetSaver.
  
• We have felt the same Peace that everything will be alright.

Luckily, a few things are different:

• Ryan's brother in law wasn't the one firing him. (Thanks, Kev.)
• 6 words: Masters Degree, 5 more years experience.
  
• A MUCH better economy for high-tech jobs.
  
• It will NOT take 8 months this time (please please please)!
  

Ryan actually has lots of possibilities (GOOD ones) and has been grateful for a chance to re-tool his career plan.

I am just grateful for all the treats the Albrechts left us.

In fact, their week is done...anyone else up for providing a nightly Romney dessert?? We promise not to catch you... I wouldn't want that scale to show lower numbers, or anything.
