    Default Dh found a new job that he loves!

    Well, it's been a while, and I have been WAAY out of the loop - about a month ago my DH lost his job. He had several headhunters working for him. In just three weeks time he got a job he never would have dreamed he'd be doing - he got a job AS an agricutural based headhunter. There is a HUGE market for that - take my word for it as the wife of an "agricultural pest control advisor". In my hubbys ag. industry, it's not who do you work for, but who ELSE have you worked for, because people are company hopping all the time! Anyway, he's excited, so I am happy. The drawback? After one year of a guarenteed (high) salary, he goes to 100 percent commission. I am not really nervous about it though, cause I am sure he will knock the socks off of the expectations that they have for him, becuase he has so many connections and friends in the industry - he already has a few people that he is helping and his "official" start date isn't untill Aug 14th. Oh, and we are moving to about 30 minutes north of Wichita, KS - as soon as our house sells - I'll keep you updated on that.

    Anyway, I have been gone for two weeks visiting my folks in WA state with the 3 kids, and I just got home a few hours ago - my hubby is at a business meeting for a few days (yea - the new job!!) - and I have to unpack and keep the house clean while it is on the market....oh, and I am doing a cooking demo for the ladies at church on Tuesday nite - "HOW TO MAKE 3 MEALS FROM ONE CHICKEN" - like I don't have enough to do.........I am glad to be back - I'll keep you updated!
    Thanks!
