Exciting News!!

No, we are not pregnant, just to get that out there. :) Our exciting news is that Jonathan just found out yesterday that he has been hired and will be beginning a new job as of August 11! About a month ago, he applied for a job with the state of Michigan to work in the Ionia jail doing counseling with inmates. He was really excited about getting this job because he'd be able to use his criminal justice degree in addition to his counseling and it just had a lot of good things about it. Including, that he will be able to get supervision and finally get his permanent license, which many of you know has been a huge prayer request for us since Jonathan got his master's. We feel so blessed that he got this job--it's a total God thing! The benefits are amazing, he'll get more vacation, more holidays (all those government ones--woohoo!) and it is a huge pay increase!! It is in Ionia, which is about a 40 minute drive, but he will actually be driving less because he won't be driving all over the county to visit clients. Plus, he'll be driving the Geo which has been getting around 50 miles to the gallon lately! We are just amazed at how this has worked out and wanted to share the good news with everyone. :)
