Hey, great ideas, Axil! But, I think I'd rather move to another country before I saw my husband catering to Michelle's whims. lol...and trust me I LOVE AMERICA! But, I also respect my husband. ;o)

Someone at Tom's work said, "yep, before this is over, I bet somebody's gonna eat a bullet." That is so shocking and sad...but, I'm afraid he could be right. I don't know what we'd do if we had little ones still at home. At this point, all we can do is trust that God has a plan and ask Him to put our feet on the path that leads us to it.
We've got each other, and Him...and that's a lot more than some people may have.

But, of course...then there's the bills......lol

Thank you, lori..

I believe in the power of "prayer".....so keep praying...."God" will see you thru this....

It's called International Paper. It closed because the company just isnt' selling as much corrugated paper as it needs to in order to justify staying open. They are also closing 2 other mills in other states. Tom is a Union machinist for that company. He's been a machinist for 30 years, and been at this mill for 10 years. If it's possible to get a job at a mill nearby, then we can save our home. But, if not, we'll have to move to wherever he can get a job. Since our home is (now) worth $185,000, and we owe $15000 MORE than that, we can't sell it....so it will go into foreclosure....So, who knows what the future holds. But, I have faith it will be ok. I've always landed on my feet in life. I expect change...but who knows, maybe for the better in the long run. You never know.
