40 Days...

Rob received some awesome news yesterday! Belmont University emailed Rob yesterday, informing him that they would like to have a phone interview Friday at 11am (est)!!! Pretty cool huh?? I am so excited for Rob as he would love love to be living in the TN area. I have only been to TN once which was back in June for a long weekend for my birthday. I loved what I saw and would love to see Nashville which is where Belmont Un. is located.

Rob today looked back at the date of when Iona informed him of not having a job in June. The date was December 11th. If you count 40 calendar days from December 11th you will end up on January 20th, which was yesterday!! Pretty cool huh??

We are not banking on Belmont, but Rob just finds it very interesting that it was 40 days.

For my readers who are not in the Christian faith, 40 is a big deal in the bible:
