You always hear that when you don't learn your lesson, life repeats itself. Guess we didn't learn what we were supposed to learn last year because work trials have come our way again. The primary investor at Steve's day job pulled out again ... same exact day as last year, same way. No notice, no paycheck today, even to cover the last 2 weeks of work. We've been pretty nervous about it the last month or two. We've been trying to be very cautious at home, he's been working VERY hard and the team has been working to find another investor but nothing solid yet.
What did we not learn? There is definitely something we were supposed to learn that we REALLY need to learn. But I do know two things I learned last year that will help me this time:
1 - Rely on my faith in God and Jesus Christ because they love me and will help carry me through my trials.
2 - I learned to rely on and work together with Steve because together we'll get through this. We can be each other's greatest strength in our time of need when we talk and work together.
As for the company Steve is a partner in, it has rounded a corner and is starting to see GREAT signs, but its not solid enough to employ him full-time yet. So right now, I'm just asking prayers that everything will be ok for us and we'll get through this and learn what the Lord would have us learn so we don't have to experience it again! Pray that audioShare (the company Steve is a partner in) will continue to do well. Pray that Steve will either find another job or that his day job will find another investor. And pray that we'll be strong together and get through all of this. Its going to be a tough time for us and we thank you for your thoughts and prayers. THANKS!
At this time, I don't know if or when we'll tell the kids what's going on. So, like last year, this isn't a PRIVATE matter and I don't care if you talk to others, but please don't discuss it in front of your kids if they might tell mine. THANKS!

To everyone: at this time we do not intend to leave Utah. Its not a forseeable option because of his business and other circumstances.
i'm sorry hun :( i don't understand how that guy can just pull out with no warning :( i hope it all works out soon!
I am so sorry Donna. Things are rough everywhere right now. We will add you to our prayers to get through this. I don't know where we will end up with this recession either. Hopefully the economy will pick up and all our friends and loved ones will find themselves employed and surviving.
I'm not sure what else you are supposed to "learn"....no one deserves to have a round two at this. Just know that there are lots of people who love you and Steve and your girls and that we will be there for you if you need us. Keep smiling, even through the bad times. Love you!
Sorry to hear it, Lindseys. We aren't in great shape either, but let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

I'm so sorry to hear about your news, I will keep your family in my prayers.
You are both strong, amazing people. You will get through this and come out of it even more strong and amazing. You will totally be in our prayers. I will have Troy keep his ears open for any job opening in that field as well.
I am so sorry! Hang in there! It will all work out - somehow. I will pray that it works at quickly for you. You are in our prayers!
