Dave got a call about a potential job Tuesday night. I was skeptical, because this guy had already called him twice in prior months. But instead, they actually called him back Wednesday and offered him a position. We are over the moon!
Last night, we drove to Horseshoe Casino for dinner to celebrate--sounds weird, I know, but Dave loves the buffet and we hadn't been in forever. We took the kids and they loved the ceiling with clouds and all the choices for food. We walked around for a bit after, and Dave got the idea that we would take turns and each go on the "riverboat" and gamble $5 each. I had $6 in dollar bills, so I went first. I spent $3 on the $.25 machines, winning $15 on my last spin. I cashed out and walked away, but on my way off the boat, I spied a $1 slot machine. I put in my $3, and ended up winning $42 more dollars! I cashed out my winnings and made it back to Dave and the kids within 10 minutes. Dave went on the boat next and spent $5, winning $52, but then continuing to gamble that amount until he lost it all! We still went home about $3 ahead since my winnings covered our dinner and what we spent each to gamble. 
When I got home, I received a call from Personal Opinion, and now I've been selected to do a study with them for a week, paid! Woohoo.
Yes, yesterday was an amazingly good day. I'm still smiling today. Such relief and just overall happiness. It's been a long 6 months of joblessness.
