How many times will bad luck strike?

Bad luck seems to be a part of our life. We moved here back in May of 2005 and since then Tim has lost 3, yes 3 jobs. Yesterday, Tim found out that his company is eliminating 8 of its 10 branches. We know the market SUCKS (sorry if you don't like the use of that word, but it fits), but unfortunately we can't get a break. Fortunately, the company that he's been working for does, at least, take care of their employees (12 weeks pay, time off for job searches, help with resumes), as long as he stays put until June 15th. We are in a position, this time, where we may come out ahead (I'll believe it when it happens). Tim has already been offered another position, the catch being that we would have to move further north. He would actually work in Wisconsin, but we would probably still look to live in the northern suburbs. We'll see what happens in the next couple of weeks. Please keep Tim and our family in your thoughts and prayers. This has been one heck of a year.
