Never Normal!

  I tell ya!  Nothing is EVER normal with us, things are always changing, and it always seems to be at the last minute.  When we were panicing about what we were going to do for money and work a few months ago and Jared got into Grad school, and then the company in Alabama called.  We were in full speed, getting ready for our big move and then the company that he worked for here called and wanted Jared to consider coming back.  We were final in our thinking, and were for certain that Alabama was the right choice for us.
  Then he called Jared for the second time Tuesday and wanted to know why he didn't get a copy of his resume?  "You just need to come in and interview with me."  This was the same person that hired him last time, so it showed me how much he really liked Jared and how impressed they were with him after only 3 months of work.
  We had to sit back and think that in reality the job in Alabama was only guaranteed for 2 years, and if you were chosen then and only then, you'd be hired on permanently.  The job here is guaranteed, and after he completes five years he would be considered a senior employee.  The pay is more here, the benefits are the same, and the perks and pay increases are about the same.  So we thought and decided that it was smarter for the long term to stay here...again!  And after finding out about all of the drama we were going to have to go through to get to Alabama, and that some of the perks we thought we entitled to we were not going to get, I really wasn't looking forward to it.
  I believe that we are a strong family and where ever and whatever we end up doing it will better our life and we will enjoy it.  A home is what you make of it not where it is.

Las Vegas:2, New York:0, Alabama:0
I think I'm done with the idea of moving, we just need to start vacationing now!
