Uncertain future!

Last week, Ryan and I were talking about our countries economic woes and what it meant to us! He said, Intel was not giving out raises and merit increases this year and my response was, "Well at least you still have a job!" Well...I spoke too soon!

Yesterday, Ryan's boss called him at home to warn him of what he would see on the local news. Fab 20, Ryan's fab will be shutting down in Q4 which will be December '09! They are hoping to relocate a lot of the Operations Managers to a different Fab in the same building, but we will see!

Last night and all day, Ryan has been busy putting his resume on different web sites to get his name out there and see what is available. Ryan has done a lot in his career at Intel, including getting his Bachelor in Business. Hopefully with all the different jobs he has done, he will get something fast!

We are being positive and are just thankful that we are together and have two healthy kids. There are so many people that are far worse off than us! If we have to relocate out of state, it will be a new adventure for our family and a new beginning! We strongly think that everything happens for a reason and maybe this is our chance for change!

What ever happens we will all be together and God will take care of us!
