Oh the Economy

Hello Fellow Bloggers-

Well, the Waters have been effected by the slowing economy…this week I (erika) was laid off from my job because we didn’t have enough work to support my role. Its sort of ok because truth be told, I was thinking I needed a change. Anyways, I am on the search. I have applied to about 40 jobs in the past two days, but am still searching and keeping my options open. With that said, I am posting my resume! If any of you know of any openings where you work, know of any job openings in general, or know any good contacts, please send them my way.  We appreciate your prayers, support, and any references….thanks!
