WHile scrolling back through my posts, I found this. With the economy's drastic downturn, I thought it was worth posting again. This is from David Jeremiah book "A Bend In The Road" Experiencing God When Your World Caves In.
Sometimes we come to life's crossroads
And we view what we think is the end.
But God has a much wider vision
And He knows that it's only a bend---
The road will go on and get smoother
And after we've stopped for a rest,
The path that lies hidden beyond us
Is often the path that is best.
So rest and relax and grow stronger,
Let go and let God share your load
And have faith in a brighter tomorrow,
You've just come to a bend in the road.

Congratulations!
The Albrightson's
He did good, didn't smash the cake in her face!
Courtney and Uncle RobbieWe have been in Eureka Springs since Friday to celebrate Nolan and Penny's wedding. They were married yesterday at the 1886 Crescent Hotel. We are glad to have her join our family, and Ashley too!
And thanks to my mom for going with us. She shared a room with the girls so we didn't have to worry about them at night!

guess where i am?
***edited to ad---besides the 2.5 hour 1 way ride, the museum was amazing. Lots of hands on stuff for kids. Aquarium, planes, courtroom, building area, dental area, doctors area, climbing area, bubbles area(my favorite), segway--fun!!, hospital area, grocery store, fire truck and lots more! Super, super time.
Riding in a jump seat of an activity bus driving down the bumpiest road in the world--I-40!
We are going to the Jasmine Moran children's museum in seminole. I told the driver they should charge to ride in this seat. It's like riding a roller coaster but without the heights!

Have you ever thought about what you would do if.....
Your husband lost his job? We are facing that question now. For the past several weeks, Chaparral has had several cut backs. We took a hit to our time for the week, but this weekend they had their first round of layoffs. We WERE NOT laid off, nor were any of his employees. My thought, we might not always be so lucky. Courtney is in a supervisory role, not a field role. Who knows how long they will keep the middle man?
Our greatest concern is his medicines. Without a job, we have no insurance. We are looking at almost $2,000 worth of medication each month! I have already begun looking for a small part time job, or a better full time job. Just in case..
I keep hearing, make it to April and things will turn around. Well, I hope April is as far as we have to go before this market turns around!

Lots of catching up to do!
Sorry for the delay in posting. Time just seems to get away from me.
First, we are back to school and things are going well. Brittni's dorm was broken into by a sicko that they found shaving in a thong in the girls bathrooms at 5:30 in the morning. Lots of rumors and we don't know the whole story, but apparently he had been in and out of that paticular dorm over Christmas break. No one was there but I guess he was scoping the place out. Later that week, he attacked a girl in front of the other dorm. She ran into the dorm with him on her back. She tried to pepper spray him, but accidently sprayed herself. The RA called 911 and the police came. In the mean time they knocked the guy off her back and laid on the floor until the police got there. It was a really weird situation. They have also said he was involoved in an accident over the Christmas break and sustained a head injury. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but apparently was never a problem prior to that. Brittni was never in danger, and has since started taking Jujitsu classes just in case.
Courtney's company had it first round of cut backs last week. A lot of hours were cut, including Courtney's and his departments, but the hardest hit for us was Justin. He was knocked down to part time. He is searching fast and furious for a full time job as he and Brittni have found a place and he was hoping to move into it in the middle of February. We are hoping this is the only cut and that the market turns around soon.
Courtney's dad got engaged over the break and we will be traveling with his whole family and my Mom to Arkansas for the wedding. It will be in Eureka Springs. It has been 6 years since we were there. We went for Bob and Amy's wedding in September of 2002.
I am sure I have lots of pics and stuff I need to post, but I don't the time right now.
Hope you are all well. Cindi
