Less moving potential and new job potentials

Circumstances have again steered us back to where we are. Perhaps some day we will move......the potentials are many. It would be fun to live somewhere else just for the experience. But for now, the more we started seeing how things we our families were playing out, and the more recognized how we felt about it all......it just felt "right" to stay here. It Stan is offered a job elsewhere we will weigh our options but for now we are nestled in our comfy spot anticipating more wonderful things to come our way. We've stopped worrying so much about the job search. We know somehow, some way - it will all be okay.



yesterday Stan got a call from Wal-Mart requesting a second interview, this time in person for the type of position he has been wanting all along - Project Manager. We are stoked about that. The interview sounds more like an orientation, going from 7:45 to 2:00 that afternoon. I've never heard of them lasting that long. Perhaps that is a good sign!

Stan's Departure from the College

On the 30th of November, Stan was asked to resign or get fired. He resigned, a bit nervous about what was next, but very relieved. His job had become very tense and he worried about it for many reasons for over a year prior to that day. I had suggested many times that he look for another job....it was stressful for me also. He manifested his own way out - his last month with pay and only on a consulting basis (he was the IT manager at a community college). Then in January his prior boss from the college who had left the year before contacted him and he ended up hiring Stan as a freelance consultant for 3 times what his salary had been on a per hour basis. So he has worked way less, for way more pay, and has been home way more! It's nice that we all get to spend more time together - Stan is getting to experience "our world" from a different point of view, although having him here creates a different atmosphere. It's felt like a 3 month weekend almost!
