What's going on here and a few requests for the praying people

There's been a whole lot going on here. There are some big things happening and I wanted to share them just to keep you guys posted on our happenings and to ask those of you who pray if you would keep some of these things in mind.

1. Daniel is finally going privatized. Some of you know more about this but in short he's putting in his two weeks notice TODAY and he will be starting a new job. Besides the normal transition anxiety, the state is in control of the transition. This is a kind of new thing for them so we are hoping that they will do their part really fast. Also Daniel will be soliciting cases. Basically he needs to convince the people he's already working with to chose him as their case worker (no change for them but since it's with a different company that's how it goes). It should basically be the exact same job, but on his schedule and for quite a bit more pay (we've got to pay for insurance but with the increase of pay we should still even out as more if it all works out right).
2. My car needs a new engine and probably a new transmission. We're pretty sure that we're not going to fix it (for 3200$) and just go 1 car it for a while since we don't want to buy anything during the transition time and being Dave Ramsey people we really don't want to go into debt for something new. We know that most people do that but we don't want to be most people. So we're hoping his car will last for a while.
3. Daniel and Ebay are finally sending out Julio Child stuff. They'll be doing a round of radio stations first but you know hopefully the stations actually play songs and someone important hears it. I really think this is the best and most marketable of Daniel's projects so...
4. And probably most exciting, my sister, the babies, and my parents are planning to move out here (soon as in like 2 weeks). Tanya's been looking for accounting jobs in Salt Lake and apartments for the group of them.

And this is besides my normal dissertation brain freeze, RaeGun getting a huge influx of orders, and the rest of it. So as you can see there are some big things going on. We'd appreciate any prayer.

Good news so far. No one acted weird to Daniel when he put in his 2 weeks notices and even crazier (since people are kinda of weird about privitization) is that he got approved for the new job today, the power was out on Monday so that's like 2-3 days where it took others 2-3 weeks at the minimum before. Now all we need is for things to stay good and for his clients to chose him.
