A Long Awaited . . . J-O-B !!

I posted a few weeks ago about how most things long-awaited seems sweeter than those that come easily or quickly. In the case of Nate's job search, we've learned that lesson again. After over two months of searching in what should be a great job market here in Las Vegas, Nate found an awesome job in the least expected of places!! A company he used to order printing supplies from back when he owned his print shop recently called. I answered the phone because Nate was off at a job fair. I ended up talking to the sales guy and mentioning that we had moved to Vegas but still had the printer, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, he kind of paused, then mentioned that they had been thinking about opening a location in Las Vegas, but didn't have anyone who wanted to move here. Wa la! The light went on for both of us. He said, "Well, I believe everything happens for a reason". Yep, we do too. In this case, the reason is that Heavenly Father is looking out for us and answering our prayers for our new family. Nate spent all of last week up in Minnesota meeting the owners and firming up details. He will be opening a location of Northlight Color (large-format printer sales and printing services) here in Las Vegas(the first one west of Chicago)and will run the shop while trying to decide if he wants to focus more heavily on the sales or the printing side. The job has lots of upside potential and plenty of room to grow. As you might imagine, printing is just a "tiny" business here with all the larger than life billboards, signs and banners we have! Nate gets to use his graphic design skills while still having lots to do and not being trapped in an office all day. He's just excited he doesn't have to get a work wardrobe :) We're both grateful for the exciting turn of events. Isn't it just amazing how things work out in a way that you would have never expected, yet they work out in the very best way of all? Long awaited blessings are indeed the best!
