We're going to Jackson!!

Cue the Johnny Cash impersonators because WE'RE GOING TO JACKSON!!
About 3 weeks ago Rob had an interview with Eaton Aerospace in Jackson, MS. He came home thinking that he was not qualified for the job because it is something he has never had to do before. He said that in his interview he was completely honest with the guys and just told them that either he had a little experience with program X but wasn't a pro at it or didn't have a clue what they were talking about.

Well...

Rob got a call from Eaton today offering him a job. He is planning to accept the job on Monday. He starts 2 weeks after graduation and we get married 3 weeks after he starts. He will receive full benefits and 2 weeks vacation time right off the bat (with one of those weeks already spoken for...JAMAICAN ME CRAZY!!)! We are so excited and know 100% that this is from God. We've been praying for a job offer since last fall. God has been so faithful to not only give us a job and a destination to go to after the honeymoon, but He has of course used this time for a great teaching opportunity (as He always does as long as we are willing to learn). The company wants Rob to start 2 weeks after graduation. 3 weeks after he starts we get married and I join him in the apartment for which we will be hunting in the next two weeks.

It is so amazing to me how with just one phone call our lives have changed so much. It also never ceases to amaze me how perfect God's timing is. If it were up to us we would've had a job offer and an apartment all lined up last November. But God knew that if that were the case, Rob would not do well in his classes and I would probably stop hanging out with people and would have already moved to MS in my mind. His timing is ALWAYS better than ours. Why is that so hard for us to remember?

I don't know the answer but I do know one thing: I'm glad He continues to remind us!!
