So on August the 12th my husband got back from a week long training out of town. We had a great afternoon and evening. Monday morning he got up and went in to work ready to talk to his boss about all that he had learned and excited to utilize the new techniques and things he had learned. He got to the office before everyone else and went to disable the alarm and his code didn't work. He called his boss to tell him and his boss said he was just around the corner.
When his boss got there he asked Brett to come into his office to talk to him. He went on to tell Brett that while he was in his training the company had lost one of their contracts (the one that was 70% of their business) and so they would have to close. He was getting laid off immediately. It was quite an unexpected blow to our family.
Brett was immediately on the hunt for a job. He filled out probably 50 applications within 2 days and called lots of places. He even got called for an interview at one local company. It didn't pan out, but that was ok. He ended up getting 19 companies (that are part of the franchise he used to work for) to e-mail him and offer him positions all over the country. We now had the problem of too many choices - a problem we have never had before. We were just about to e-mail a few of them to get more information on their offers, when my husband got a call from a different local company about an interview.
Yesterday he went in for the interview and they said that depending on how his drug test and back ground check came out that he would get a job there. Yesterday afternoon they called with an offer for him to start today making a little more than he did before. He was only unemployed for a week. He was so lucky and blessed by Heavenly Father. We are so thankful for our friends and family who prayed for us during that stressful time for us. It was nice that it didn't last for long.
