Our Big News . . . Finally

Well, after about 7 weeks, we are finally excited to announce that Dave will be starting a new job on September 13! I know some of you don't think that is huge news, but we are pretty excited around here. It has been neat to see God at work throughout this process so I'll share briefly . . .

First of all, this job had been posted for probably over a month and the application process had been closed when Dave got a call from a former co-worker who told him that he needed to send in his resume. When he found out that it was with the company he has dreamed of working with for years, he immediately sent in his resume thinking we really had nothing to lose. The very next day he got a call to come in for an interview (the first of SIX that he had). It was at this interview that he found out over 250 people had applied and they had already narrowed the candidates down to 12. He would be lucky #13. :) Over the course of the next 5 weeks he went in for interview after interview and we just kept praying that if this is where God wanted Dave He would open up the right doors. When the general manager's assistant called our house to ask Dave to come in for interview #6 I just laughed in her face. oops. Anyway, it was at that interview that the GM offered Dave the job. He basically said it came down to Dave and one other guy and he couldn't' decide . . . so he went on information from two people who currently worked at the dealership and had worked with Dave before. I think that speaks volumes of my hubby that a former employee and co- manager spoke so highly of him.

So, we are pretty excited! Nothing was official until we returned from vacation and he met with the corporate people to discuss salary and benefits (since he never saw the posting we had no idea what the salary was), but as of yesterday he submitted his resignation and has 2 weeks left to work at Sonic. Then it's on to City Chevrolet to officially be an employee of Hendrick Automotive!! What a blessing it will be to work for a Christian man in a dealership that is profitable and with a great staff too. Now if I can just stop panicking over changing insurance and the minor stuff . . .
