Kevin got laid off almost a week ago.  No warning. Effective immediately.

There it is.  It's private, it's personal, it's uncharted territory. But this blog has always served as a chronicle of our life - the highs & the lows.  And as humbling of an experience this is.  This is our life right now.  And in a year when I read back, I'll know we survived & came out ontop :)

We have 2 kids & one on the way. Our insurance ends in 2 days.  Oh this little journey of life...keepin us on our toes, always. We're figuring it out. Kevin has applied for unemployment & I believe being pregnant with no income qualifies me for some medicaid. 

We are trying to keep a positive outlook.  I'm still watching kiddos during the week so we have a little cash flowing in. We have friends and family digging deep into all their networks to give Kevin any leads on jobs.  He's had one phone interview already & we're hoping for a few more nibbles sooner than later.



We are not alone & that's how I know with confidence that we will weather this storm.  Our family & friends - near and far - have all reached out with their support & positivity.  Keep it comin!

In the meantime - we shall enjoy having coffee together every morning, enjoy not sitting in 2hrs of traffic every morning, enjoy this time together - cause if all goes as planned we'll never have this "opportunity" again ;)

We had the pop up campers maiden voyage planned for this weekend & we debated cancelling - but we are going to escape reality for a couple days.  Maybe some fresh wilderness will bring us some good luck.

Positive thoughts people.

    Whoa!!! sorry to hear this....Knowing Kevin---he'll won't be unemployed long. It's easy for me to say, but you both will weather this storm and be better for it. Believe in yourself and stay positive....love dad
