GREAT NEWS!!!!... We think!

Hi Everyone! Great news! Michael got a call today from the man he's been in contact with about the MTA job. According to him, everything is set with the job- (which he'd be contracted through Towson University to do consulting work -but technically working for the MTA- Maryland Transit Association). He said that he could start the beginning of August and that he should get a call soon from Towson!!! A little in shock, Michael text messaged him again later (since he's on friendly terms with this man) and he said, "So it's for real this time?" (it's been in the works for awhile, so we weren't and still aren't getting our hopes up entirely yet!) and the man told him that he told the company August 4th at the latest, but that if earlier is okay that might be able to be arranged! So that's even better! He told Michael that hopefully he will and should get a call on Monday from the consulting firm in Towson... SO... we'll keep you posted!! I would say, "MICHAEL GOT THE JOB!!" but... we don't actually know this officially just yet! Hopefully he'll get a call, and be able to come in and learn more about the job and get an official offer letter or sign an official contract soon. Assuming this job goes through...we'll also be able to stay relatively local to family and friends and our church and doctors, etc. AND Michael will be able to teach as adjunct faculty at the University of Baltimore this fall! He's already signed on to teach a class there (students registering online even see "Mr.Walk" as their instructor- he thought that was pretty great!) and he's really excited about teaching that class- so it's good news to be staying in this area for that reason as well.

Thank you all SO MUCH for your prayers! Please continue to pray and we will let you know more as we know more... hopefully- this is it! :) Praise God! (And if this goes through we may actually be able to move the beginning of next month or before the baby is born! Who knows!?) :o)

Thanks again for your love, support and prayers...
God bless!
- Lisa and Michael (and kiddos)
