Prayer Request

The hours that Jonathan works has always been a hardship for me. Let me try to explain.


Jonathan works 12 hour shifts. He is currently working nights, 6pm-6am. Every 3 months he switches from nights to days, so starting in April he will be back to days, 6am-6pm, and then 3 months he will switch back to nights.
Along with the long hours, he works a panama style shift. This means the first week he works 24 hours and the second week he works 60 hours. 
First week- Mon,Tues-off, Wed-6-6, Thurs-6-6, Fri, Sat, Sun-off (I love these weeks)
Second week- Mon-6-6, Tues-6-6, Wed and Thurs-off, Fri-6-6, Sat- 6-6, Sun- 6-6 (I hate these weeks!)

Having a little one and working myself is always a challange because Jonathans schedule is NEVER the same. every week it changes and every 3 months it changes even more. Kinda crazy. Needless to say, we have been blessed with an amazing babysitter who works around our schedule with us. 

Jonathan came home last night with some good news. He was told that it is almost 80% certain that they are going to perminentlty move him to a regular day shift. Mon- Fri 7am-4pm. WOOHOOO. This is music to my ears. Every weekend off together and a steady schedule! 
I am super excited, but nothing is set in stone yet, so if you all could be praying for this decision! We are hoping to know soon and it looks like it would be put into effect by April1 (unless they are trying to pull a april fools joke on us) ;o) 

Another prayer request, I will be sending out more resumes on Monday. I am not happy with where I work, but also with my hours. If Jonathan gets moved to days (7-4)  and my hours are 12-7. I usually dont get home til 8-8:30 at night, so we wont be seeing much of each other 3 days a week. I'm not complaining because this will still be better then where we are at, BUT if i get a new job with regular hours- 8-5. Jonathan and I will have the same schedule (first time ever for this!!) 

Here is a little video of how Owen helps me out in the mornings. One of his favorite things to do is feed Talon. (Of course, after he gets Talon food, he DEMANDS that Talon eat it haha)
