WAITED 6 WEEKS AND IT'S OVER.......

I went home at lunch and made myself a PB & J and while I was eating I noticed a call on the caller ID from Alloway Electric. I immediately called Tony. He was at his parents working on the hardwood floors. He wondered why they didn't call his cell. I went back to work and was hopeful that it was good news. He's been on a temporary layoff for 6 weeks and we've just been waiting for things to pick up. I got a call a little later from Tony and he said he's been layed off completely. Business hasn't picked up and the HP job may not even happen. They had to lay off several more and Tony's one of them. He was on his way to Alloway to turn in his phone and uniform shirts and then he is going to the Union Hall to sign the books. I' m sick. When will this economy turn around?

Oh no! That's terrible! I know, I wish this economy would turn around. I don't want Curtis to stay in Iraq any longer than he has to.
Just remember the Lord will bless those who choose his path and follow it. Keep your chin up.
We love you!
