Sooo....remember that time we went to Atlanta for an interview? Way back in the summer? Well, Mr. F didn't get that job. But the company liked him enough that they asked him to try for another position. This led to a Skype interview and Mr. F flying up to Atlanta for another interview the day before I flew to Utah for The Stud's wedding. It was chaos. Good chaos. We didn't hear anything from the company the entire time I was gone. And that was a long time people! Mr. F interviewed with other companies and those options fell through before hearing back from the Atlanta job. The Friday after my return, Mr. F got an email offering him a position. A good position. Like, the kind of job we've been praying for and hoping for. That was a week and a half ago. Since then, we've been making hurried plans to venture north into the heart of the South. This has included purchasing a car (which should be finalized today!), finding a place to stay, and getting contracts signed. Until the latter happened, both of us were hesitant to share any news. We didn't want to jinx anything. But now? Now I'm telling you all!
MR. F GOT A JOB!!!!! AND WE'RE MOVING TO ATLANTA!!!
One of these days I'm going to put up a side-by-side comparison of this move to our move to Cyprus. It's laughable how not stressed we both are over all of this. That said, I do need to get a few things packed and sorted still since we're leaving, oh, on Saturday. No big! Just a whole lot of happy going on!
I wanted to thank everyone for your prayers, notes, and love through these last eight months. I know employment is not a magic cure-all, but the piece of mind that comes from this change is overwhelming to us both. We absolutely could not have made it without you faithful friends and family who still read this little blog even though we're not globe-trotting anymore. You have aided us in more ways than I can ever express and I am deeply, deeply grateful for you!
p.s. we found out that Jeni's Ice Cream is opening a shop in Atlanta right NOW! personally, I think it's a sign that we're supposed to move. Jeni's AND Braves baseball?! bring it on!!

ReplyDeleteI think you will love Atlanta! Congrats to you both. This is very exciting. You know we have 'ties' to Atlanta. Just saying.... Smooth move!
Yes, yes, yes!!!! My eyes welled up, and I'm thinking we've GOT to get together in November—even if for just a few minutes. This makes me so, so happy!
