the pretrial and trial were postponed until early next year. seems that they need more time to prepare.
the new dates: pretrial is on 13 January 2017 with the trial set for 13 February 2017. so we have to deal with this a bit longer thru another holiday season.
this entire thing has been a learning experience. and not one i care to go thru ever again.
October 2016
hubby got a job offer from Parkland Hospital. it took them just over a month to get all of the details worked out. Parkland was very thorough and checked each of my husband's previous jobs. and one was not very cooperative, which is y it took so long. a thorough background check was also done, which we were a bit concerned about. however, since God is in control of our situation, we had to trust that God would take care of it.
as we waited for the official written offer to come, hubby began to wonder. but each time, God reminded him to just trust Him. apparently, God really wants my hubby working at Parkland. so he waited.
around the 17th of October, hubby received, thru email, the writtren job offer. taking little time to mull it over, he signed the papers and faxed them back.
orientation day was set for 31 October 2016.
the friday before he was to start, they called and told him the background check was not complete. again, we were a bit apprehensive. but God and Parkland both told us that it was a hang up on one of his work history that was causing the problem. the same one that has hampered him before.
by the 2nd of November, it was all ironed out. he was good to go on the 7th of November for orientation.
it has been just over 2 weeks since he started and as usual, he has already made a difference.

it has been a while since we had spoken with our lawyer. but we have come to learn that our lawyer is doing what he does best. right now it's a lot of behind the scenes kind of stuff going on preparing for the pretrial.
on the 22nd both hubby and i had separate calls with our lawyer. he was wanting to make sure about certain things and clarify others. so the behind the scenes prep is heating up.

today is a good day. last nite hubby shared that he is to "micromanage" the projects he is working on. there is a lot of work to do to get the hospital systems in a more efficient working order. gonna be painful as the IT department gets things working just right. but hubby has told me there r some really good people that actually know what they r doing and, they r good at what they do. i get the idea that he is gonna enjoy working with them. 🙂
so there it is. thank u all for keeping us in your prayers.
until next time...
it's quite a blessing to hear all the good news. Congratulations on the new job at Parkland Hospital. I hope that we can get together again soon. Until then happy Thanksgiving and merry Christmas. May God richly bless your family.
