Change, Change, Change

As you can tell I have not been doing a great job at keeping up with my blog...even after trying the blogging "schedule"...but as always I find myself missing the time to sit down and simply type.


So with that being said I will start this first blog post on my newly designed blog site with a little catch up post!


We will start with My Husbands {NEW} Job.

He had been working in a dental lab for almost eight years where he had went from outside sales to customer service to his most recent position of dental technician and you guess it with each position there was a change in pay... it went up, it went down, it went back up but then it went right back down. We needed a change... HE needed a change. So he begin applying for other various dental tech positions in and out of state. On Tuesday, July 16th - on a whim- he decides to contact the HR department at a lab in Huntsville, AL. On July 18th he was contacted by the VP of the company who wanted to set up a time for KW to go in for an interview. Due to the type of work he request that KW do a working interview and scheduled the interview on the weekend so KW would not have to miss work. So on July 27th we made the 2 hour drive to Huntsville got a hotel and went looking around at apartments just so we would have an idea of what the cost of living would be.  On Sunday, July 28th I dropped Kent off for his interview at 4:00 and I headed to the mall! They told me they would be done around 6:00 so I made sure I was back 10 minutes early! Well that was a mistake ... they didnt walk out of the door until 8:00pm... That's when the VP walked KW out to the car... shook my hand and said "Welcome, to Huntsville!" I was just floored... I looked at KW and said "so you got it?" and his response was look at the offer email... and then it hit me... We're moving to Huntsville! Kent got in the car and we began calling our family to let them know -- KW got the job!! He turned in his notice the next day (Mon) and then on Tuesday his current employer offered him more money and then the new job countered that offer and then his current employer at the time countered that offer. They took us both to dinner and tried to persuade KW to stay with them but KW and I both felt this was the door God had opened and felt that moving to Huntsville would be the right move for us and our future.


So on August 9th I headed to Huntsville to sign the lease on our apartment. That afternoon my parents headed down ((up)) with the U-Haul and KW headed here after work. We unloaded our bed and the few things we would need to get us through the night and then went to meet my in-laws for dinner. We went back to our apartment and got some much needed rest for the early day ahead. By mid-afternoon on the 10th everything was unloaded! I spent most of the weekend unpacking boxes and putting things away.

That Sunday I returned home to continue working in my office until my home office was up and running. After a few weeks I was ready to make my official move to Huntsville. 

I love Huntsville and have done extremely well with the move much better than everyone expected including myself. All that credit goes to God-- he gave me a peace that only he could give.

We still have much to do... like find a church, SELL OUR HOUSE etc... and hopefully by my next post we will have marked them off our list as well!
