Family Man

Last November Dave's job was in jeopardy at Marketstar. His client, Westcon, decided they could no longer afford to use Marketstar and pulled out. Dave's whole team had to find new jobs. Dave and I were really worried for a couple of months. Luckily, Marketstar was able to land a new client and Dave got to still have a job. (PHEW!!!!) During those 2 months Dave put his resume out at many places. One place was Browning. Since November he has had several interviews with them. Over 400 people put in for the job, and after about 6 interviews total, Dave was selected for the job!! Once Dave got to know a little more about the job, he wasn't so excited. While this job would be a significant pay increase, it required 100-150 travel days per year. What a HARD decision we had to make yesterday. We prayed about it, and seriously made ourselves sick about it. Ultimately, I wanted it to be his decision, and told him I would support him either way. He called me yesterday and said he couldn't do it. He didn't want to miss out on anything in our young children's lives. He told me that thinking about being gone from us that much would make him sick, and couldn't see himself being happy being away lots.
Seriously, how many guys out there would jump at that chance to work for a company they were passionate about (hunting, guns etc.. )?! I think lots of people were shocked he turned it down. Browning even asked Dave what they needed to do financially to get him to sign on with them. Dave is holding his guns, and he feels good about the decision he has made. I am so blessed to have him as my husband! I love my Family Man!
