Just coming out of "lurk" mode to say howdy and to let you know that I'm still pullin' for ya in your sitch.
Hang tough on the job search...be diligent, but don't overdo like I did during my last stretch of unemployment. I spent so much time in search mode and no time on *me* and I think it sucked the life out of me.
Perhaps your wife will get an offer, and that might be one of the best things that could happen for her self-esteem and for both of you, long-haul. Perhaps God intended this to nudge her out of her rut and into some personal growth. Then He will provide one for you too!!! All will be revealed in His timing.
How is the music going? I haven't heard you mention your band in a while. If you guys ever play a gig in the "Hill Country" area, let me know. Mr. Silverado and I will come and see ya!!
