Well it's about time, but Kyle (woops, I mean "I") got a job! I lost my job last May due to circumstances outside of my control (ask if you want to know). I have been jobless since. During the summer I looked for jobs and didn't have much luck. Coming into the fall we decided maybe I should focus on other things. But when we found out baby (Witsius) was going to be born we decided it was time for me to get a job again. Anyway, I've been looking since January, and turned down one job offer since. But last Thursday I had an interview with Xcel Energy and they called on Friday to offer me the job.
So what is it? I'm a meter man. That's right, the creepy guy that once a month comes into the backyard and scares everyone. That's going to be me. Now before you point and laugh know that this job is going to be sweet! Not only do I get to be outside all day (during the summer) but I get to work on my tan. Albeit it will be a nice farmer's tan. No really, it's going to be a great setup and really help Rachel and I plan and save for seminary. Anyway, we are very thankful for this opportunity and the provision of the Lord at this time in our life.
Grace and Peace.

Congratulations on such cooool names! I'm super jealous on how well you have researched the backgrounds on these! I just happened to stumble on this blog, and think God has put this blog here for a reason. This is nifty, and I am bookmarking it! I work with a Youth Group here in Post Falls Idaho...(teeny tiny. I'm gonna put this in my fav's so the kids can see it. We're having an issue with our kids dropping out, and going through some tough times. Maybe I can borrow you two in a few weeks? These kids are super nerds, and we're just getting this started, but anyone who shows as much love for our Saviour as you two can't be half bad!

Are you going to come check the meter at our house? I will let you in for some pop if you are! (and your Abby fix :)
That's awesome, Kyle! Way to get some exercise, a tan, AND money! It's like the best job ever!
How's work going?
When will there be pictures of growing Rachel posted?
"circumstances beyond your control" huh? Somehow I interpreted your story differently. Hope the meeter man job works out. That's an honorable job. Sometimes I think the mundane jobs are more honorable than the exciting ones, since not everyone can do boring things. But who knows, maybe you'll run in to a mean dog from time to time. Just to give you a heads up on that score: I've heard that either ammonia in a spray bottle or pepper spray is a must for mailmen and meetermen. You can thank me later.
Looks like I'll be back to shoveling the black crap in a few weeks. We can compare our tans at the end of the summer. $10 says you'll be darker than me, since I nap under a shade tree every chance I get.
Are you shoveling the dark stuff in Minnesota?
