The Monday after Easter Zane's bosses came to the site where Zane was working. It was about 5:15pm and they talked to each individual and told them they weren't needed any more! The week before that, Zane had talked to his boss and asked him if his job was secure. Of course he was told "yeah, you don't have anything to worry about." It was a BIG shock to both of us when he got laid off! The good news is, we are probably going to be moving closer to home in August! The bad news is August is still like 4 months away! Zane was able to find a job that very week at Target on their Flow Team. He goes in at 4am and gets home around 1pm. I also work at Target, mainly to give me that much needed "me time" that mommies really need! It's been really hard for us to make ends meet. It's almost been a month and we are still hanging in there! Not having money for gas to travel home has upset some people and for that we are very sorry. Most people don't realize just how expensive it is to live in St. George and every little penny we have right now has to go to bills, gas and groceries. Together, we make 1/4 of what Zane was making at Desert Hills. It has been really tight, but we are hanging in there! We always tell each other that if we have faith, pay our tithing, say our prayers and live righteously, the Lord will bless us and help us make it through to August!

I know you are very busy, don't even worry about it! I understand! Hope to hear from you soon!
WOW - I know layoffs are hitting lots of people, including people Kris & I both work with. We are both crossing our fingers that our jobs are OK, but sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and go with the flow. Things will settle down, and you are right about faith and tithing. We've seen lots of blessings come because of that. Take care!
