Insert Ironic Heading Here

So many of you in Lexington may have heard on the news about the big Lexmark layoffs. 600 people got laid off just in the Lexington area, and 1,700 total employees nation wide were laid off. David had heard it would be all hard ware people since they are phasing out that area of their work and focusing on software, which is what David worked with. No such luck. His whole TEAM was cut. Not only that, but our amazing neighbor , who told us about the current house we are renting (for a HUGE steal) also found out she has to find a new job.

We are lucky though. David has until October 26th to find something. Also, for the last month or two he has been getting bored with his work. He has already started applying for jobs (also over a month ago) and actually had an interview today. This is a scary time in our life but we both feel very comforted.

I always think I don't have anything to blog about. Well I guess now I will. I will try to keep everyone updated with this. I'm hoping to have good news soon!

Jaxon is doing great. I don't know how but he gets more personality every day! He is so sweet and has such a good heart. I LOVE that when I do something he is asking or really likes he says "good girl" to me (like we say to the dogs). I love his kisses and how he says "mama!" like he just discovered I'm in the room, even though I've been there the whole time. I love his stinky feet. He is my heart.

Also I will be doing THREE baby showers in the next two months so I hope to blog about those and they will help to keep me busy. I am so excited for all the ladies! Babies are so exciting!!

I have so many blessings and I hope I can keep that in perspective through the next few months. Wish us luck!

Bryan's position at Lexmark was cut a few months back but like David, he had already been looking for different jobs! I'm sure David will find something better! Bryan thinks the CEO is prepping the company to be sold so maybe it is good David is getting out now! Blessing in disguise maybe?

I think for sure! I've heard of several people who feel their job hasn't been secure in the last few months. He also is deserving a higher paying job. He has his two year experience now so hopefully he can get a better position. Can't wait to see where this takes us! Unless we have to move.... lol
