Thank Goodness for Hardworking Husbands

Niels recently got hired on at Hook Advertising as a graphic designer. The company is in Utah and there is somewhat of an "office" here in Rexburg. Luckily, Niels gets to work from home on his computer. It was an enormous blessing to us! I have, for a long time now, HATED my job. I could make a good, long list of complaints about it, but I'll save everyone the time. Niels has always wanted to get a better job so that I wouldn't have to work, especially now that I am pregnant. We had a couple of disappointments the past few months as Niels searched for jobs, but then this miracle happened, right as we were wondering if it had been a mistake to stay in Rexburg for one more year. Now that Niels is working two jobs, one of which is something that he LOVES doing and is what he went to school for, I am able to quit my job. I was planning on leaving it in a few months anyway, because it's very physically demanding and the bigger I get the harder it will be for me to perform my job responsibilities. Instead, Niels is letting me quit sooner than expected. He's either really excited for me to be at home with him during the day, or he got tired of hearing me constantly whine about my job. I'm pretty sure it's the former, because he keeps expressing how excited he is to have me home. Tomorrow, I plan on marching right in there and giving my manager my two weeks notice. Oh how heavenly it sounds to not have to drive a half hour to and from work every day. It was hardly worth it anyway. I can now just focus on growing a baby and preparing for it's arrival. As I was desperately needing/wanting to quit my job, Niels got an amazing job offer and is now earning a bigger income than when we were both working. It's like my brother-in-law says, "the Lord loves pregnant women".

I look forward to spending the day with Niels at home now, and am grateful he gets to continue to do so when the baby comes, at least for a few months. Then hopefully at the start of the new year we're off on a new adventure in another state!
