Finally there is news!

For those of you who have not been following on Facebook, or who are confused because we are confusing people, here is the story about how Jason saved the day. Once upon a time we moved to Texas to start a business with my brother James. We put our heart and soul into it for a year. After a nasty hurricane and a lean Christmas, the family Livingston decided to let Uncle James continue his journey alone. And though it was sad to part both families were happy for eachother. Jason had received an email from an evil enchantress in a far away land who promised us much gold and a way to make all of our problem go away. All we had to do was wait for her plans to come true. We waited for 6 weeks and nothing happened. We found much comfort in prayer, services and the love and support of our friends and family. One day we knew we had to take our destiny in our own hands. Jason started to work full time at getting a new job back in the corporate world. He was diligent and spent 8 hours a day sending letters, resumes, and calls out into the mist. Slowly he began to have phone interviews, then face to face interview and then video conferences. Each week we slowly moved towards our future. I worked at a scrapbook store and our hero bravely did the dishes, made dinner and took the kids to the library all the while never loosing focus of his goal. February and nearly March had passed. Every day we would receive a letter saying "congratulations you have moved to the next level!" without an offer of employment. We stayed strong encouraging each other, becoming very philosophical and pensive about life. Until one day the call came. An offer! We whisked the children away to Austin to look at the fair city that could become our home. We loved the beautiful landscape and hills, the downtown and artistic mood of the city. We loved staying in a hotel with a pool and fine dining at Kobe's. The family rejoiced!
Our Prince Charming had indeed conquered the beast UNEMPLOYMENT on his own merits and with the help of a Loving Heavenly Father. Said Prince is now in Washington DC on a consulting assignment before he begins work in Austin April 20th. He will also be traveling to SLC next week. The windows of heaven have been opened to us. I, the fair maiden and the children will remain in Houston until the end of the school year. We will be putting our house on the market soon and getting ready for the next chapter! Again thank you to all who kept us in their prayers. It worked! If you need anymore details you can call Jason, he is happy to talk about his new company!
