Nouvelles fantastiques (Fantastic News)!

Joel got a call today from an SF HR rep that he had previously talked to regarding other interviews/jobs. They played phone tag, and he was able to get in touch with her this afternoon. She offered him the ISS (Internal Sales Support) job he interviewed for 4/3. Around 300 people applied for these 6 jobs. Here's the crazy part though - He's starting May 4 - yes, less than 2 wks away, and no, Gabe hasn't been born yet. So, we have much talking to do with my parents and Joel's parents. I guess we'll take down an initial load of necessities and leave a lot of our stuff here in WI and stay with Joel's parents until we can get into a house. My parents say there's no rush to get all of our stuff out. Adjusting to having a new baby is really the priority and taking care of our family, then comes finding somewhere to live. Why did God do it this way and cut things so close? We have no idea, but we are BEYOND thankful to have Him hear our pleas and bless us. I knew He wouldn't let us down. I just knew it. Thanks to all you wonderful family and friends who have prayed for us and encouraged us in this valley. We love you!

Anything you need you just tell us...you all are definitely in our prayers right now. i can't imagine being in this position...my biggest worry at that time was going into labor at tj's graduation :) seriously, my hours stop getting crazy around then and if you ever need us to take stella (even though she doesn't know us that well), it is an option. i am sure chloe would love to show her all her barbies, etc. love you guys!
