From the Beginning

Well, it has been a while since I've updated you all--things have been very hard for Danny and I.  When he was moved to the Tampa office of his business, things didn't pick up work wise and unfortunately only got worse over the next month.  He was laid off last Monday, and now we are both in a sticky situation, especially since I declined to return to the school I am working at for the next school year when I found out we would be in Tampa (before the lay off).  I am still waiting to hear from one particular school in Tampa--hopefully that will come in the next week or so.  

So now we are at a turning point, as I am sure many Americans are...what do we do...where do we go?  Right now we will be in Sarasota until the end of May (our lease runs out on the condo).  We will most likely move in with Danny's parents for the summer if he still does not have a job.  So much has happened in the past year--and I am truly starting to believe the saying, "when one plans, God laughs."  I don't think he is laughing, but I do think that things were going just a little too nicely for us...we are just glad that we do not own a home, nor do we have children--this is happening to so many people who are in much worse positions than we are.
