My beloved Computer Guy has a new job at last! He will be working for an oil and gas company here in Oklahoma. Therefore, I will no longer be complaining about the high cost of a barrel of oil. He gets profit-based bonuses. Yes, I’m a capitalist, so sue me.

We will be moving soon. Not back to my beloved Texas, but to the other side of Oklahoma City. It would be about an hour drive each way, and I like him too much for him to be gone that long doing nothing but driving. I’m not complaining about gas prices, mind you, I just don’t want his entire raise to be eaten up by them.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank St Rita, Patron Saint of the Impossible, who was praying for us. Thanks to all the friends who gave good advice and helped and listened. Most of all, thanks be to God, who gave my dear husband the knowledge necessary to get the job, and put him in the right place at the right time. He also reassured me that night in February when I was up, frustrated and praying and crying and said “God, I truly believe that I can live through anything and not lose my mind as long as I know how long it will last. Would it be too much to ask to have an end-date?” I woke up the next morning and told everyone “July.” Even when I felt like I was losing my mind, I clung by my fingernails to the promise of July. The Computer Guy starts his new job July 7th. I’ve learned that it’s not just asking, it’s asking for the right thing. “Just tell me when it will be over. Amen”

I’m meeting with the realtor today to look at 3 houses. I asked St Anthony and St Rita for help praying, and then asked God to make the perfect house obvious. Then I asked when we would move and He said “August”. Sounds good to me.
