David Update

I have a really amazing husband! Ever since David and I have been married, David has very unselfishly put the needs of our family above his personal desires and even career goals. He has worked mostly as an electrical apprentice, not because it was his ultimate dream to do it, but because it was something that he could make money doing. With the economic downturn, his job doing electrical work was really effected and after several weeks of things slowing down, he was eventually laid off. He was laid off just a few days after we found out that we were expecting our baby and it was pretty unsettling to know what we should do. Fortunately, David is a very hard worker and has somehow made ends meet by doing odd jobs here and there. Family members and friends have also been very helpful in hiring David for work. Thank You everyone!
It has actually been a good thing for David to be laid off in some ways because he has been forced to evaluate what career goals he would like to pursue, and during this time, he decided to go back to school to work towards a degree in Electronics Engineering. We still had the problem of a job for David until the week school started when my cousins husband Spencer called David to see if he could start working night shifts immediately at a factory here in town. It is a temporary job for now, but we are hoping that they will hire David full time at the end of the temporary period.
It's a pretty difficult arrangement for David because he works all night Monday through Friday and has school Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. He has stuck to it, even on days when he doesn't actually sleep for 48 hours or longer because he has to get homework done. It's showing me a much stronger side of my husband than I've ever seen before. Even with all of this, he still finds time(if I let him) to help me make dinner or clean the house, or any of the other hundred million things that need doing. He still puts family first, no matter what he has to sacrifice in his own life, and I feel so lucky to have him.
After this week, he will be 1/3 of the way through this semester.(When it's this tough, we have to celebrate all the baby steps. haha) He did have some previous college credits that SUU accepted and so he has 6 semesters before he will have his degree. Keep up the good work, Love! Thanks for all that you do!
