Mr. I flew out yesterday for his first day on the job. It was so exciting to see him put on his work clothes, pack a suit case and head out the door. He looked pretty scrumptious! The children and I brought him to the airport with excited hearts and beaming smiles. The kids were a little apprehensive. They have had their dad home for 4 months straight. The loved having him home; he is a great father. He had a bit of the jitter bugs. I was apprehensive about the tasks that lye ahead of me. Single parenting the children, getting them to seminary, school, sports and church activities. (on time) and cleaning and packing a house along with squeezing some work hours in. To each of us: "Fear not and go forth in faith."
Mr. Incredible is off to Florida for the week and will be back on Friday. They have a group in Florida that he has to meet. We wish him well and safe travels.
Next week he will fly out to Austin, Tx. where another group is located and then home for the weekend and off to St. Louis where head quarters are located. There is a lot that has to be done to prepare for our move but I'm sure everything will work out.
We have prayed for 11 months faithfully, urgently, incessantly and even begged for an opportunity to be employed, in his career. All along not shirking our responsibilities, even if our deepest desires were not answered we had still been given so many countless blessings. I see Father's wisdom he was grooming us and preparing us for this exact moment and preparing this company for us too and without hesitation or trepidation we step firmly onto this path, for the resounding words ring clear, "fear not and go forth in faith".

I'm so glad you guys have been blessed this way! I remember you had such a great attitude, even in the midst of the trial, I was so impressed. I'm sure that's why you have been blessed with this great oppurtunity.
Yeah for new jobs! Funny, Joe is in Florida this week for work also. He used to travel weekly when our big boys were little. Now it is just once a year. Gabe was talking to me last night saying how much he missed daddy and I mentioned how he used to travel and he exclaimed that would not have been fun to have him gone all the time. It would be hard after 4 months of having him at home to send him away.
You are crazy girl! I love reading your comments. I love that I put of that persona of the "perfect girl" HA! not!
Hey you can always reverse the numbers on your kids, instead of having 6 and adopting 4 you could always adopt the 6 now! Have a GREAT day!
I am so happy for you!
Have a great week!

Guys always look so snazzy dressed up.
Keep telling yourself, "I can do it, I can do it..." All of your to do's will be short in comparison to those long 11 months.
So glad he got a job!!! I can relate to the single parenting...I have been doing it for the past 5.5 months. You can do it! Some days I am amazed at all I get done and still have my sanity ;) I am so happy for you guys! Good luck with the new transition....you guys will do great!
You are going to be so glad you have blogged this - AND took the picture of Mr. I leaving for the airport all dressed up.
While it may be a bit of an uncertain, a daunting, and yet exciting time in life you will get through it. You have THE BEST attitude and Faith!!
Hooray for a new journey!!!
I just love you!!
May you be blessed with the ability to get everything done with mr I is gettin' his business groove on! GO YOU GUYS!
Oh happy day! Thank goodness for answered prayers! Finally the calm after the storm! Glad that the rain has stopped.
I can just SEE you beaming with pride in my mind. I hope it is everything you've all waited so long to find!
Your post also gives me some hope. I have always been blessed to know what I'm supposed to be doing in life at any given time. For the last year I've just been floundering, wondering when he will show me his plan for me. I've been working toward some things but nothing has been working out yet and I'm losing confidence that it will. I guess I just need to remember that the gifts come AFTER a trial of our faith.
Doing a happy dance for Mr. I and your gorgeous family! I have been looking forward to this happy post! Good luck Mr. I!
You are a great example of faith. So glad there are good times ahead for you now.
I can imagine how much you all miss him!!! I'm so excited to "move along" with your family!!!!
So happy for you all!!! And I love your family picture!
Wooo hooo! I'm a bit behind. Congratulations Solomons! I'm so so so happy for you guys. On to a new adventure! I was secretly hoping when I read this that you'd be on your way to UT. They must need you guys there more... I guess. Are the *'s at the top before and after Solomon Surprises really uneven on your computer too? 12 on one side and 14 on the other? This is not like my dear friend. Love you! So happy for you! Tell Mr. I way to go for closing the deal.
I don't know if you have a liquor store around, but I get moving boxes from there because they are very sturdy and small enough to hold a box of books that can be lifted and again, sturdy. I've always gotten them free. My husband is UHP and the story sounded like what he would have done. If there is a crash and I'm with him, I'm always taking pics with my camera. I scramble the license plate. Not on normal stops though, unless I can hear him in the car with the police radio and car radio on. Then I know the driver of the vehicle isn't being agreeable. I'm still so happy that you are becoming more stable again.
