Let's bring it back for a second and start at the beginning shall we...
It all started back on our trip from Cali to Augusta. Dan got a call about an immediate opening with L3 working with the MC12s in Fort Huachuca, AZ. This is a dream job for Dan. Not only does he know the MC12s inside out, L3 is an amazing company to work for! So of course this is something he wants baaaaaaaaadly. He even got in contact with one of the Head Honchos there and talked with him about the job and fell even more in love with the job.
Well this is basically where things go from "Yay we are moving to Georgia" to "OMG are we really going to drive back West and move to Arizona???!!" You see, Dan emailed Head Honcho and got some amazing news; This guy wanted Dan. Told Dan that he would back him 100% if Dan would go fill out the application and go in for an interview.
So after countless "Should I do this?" conversations I convinced Dan to take the interview. I knew this was a dream job! Not only the job itself but L3 is an AMAZING company that really takes cares of its employers. Our doubt with taking the job was moving back West. We had been DYING to get to the East coast so we could be closer to our families. We wanted our kids to grow up knowing their Grandparents and to grow up close to their Cousins. Were we really ready to leave that dream behind and move hundreds of miles away again? The deciding factor was we knew that it would (( hopefully )) only be 18 months. So Dan set up the interview.
Dan flew out to Greenview, TX on Wednesday morning. One Thursday morning he had the interview that lasted almost 3 hours. I was a nervous wreck waiting for him to call! (( Shout out to my amazing sister -- Happily Ever Mullendore -- for being there for me )) And then I finally got the call...
He was offered the job -- Oh God we are moving to AZ. But we aren't going to be in AZ -- Whhhhhhhat?!? Please this is just going to be worse isn't it. They offered me a job in Savannah, GA -- OMG whhhhhhat?!? ... Que instant tears on my end.
We aren't leaving the South!
Our babies are going to be near our families.
I get to live in a D R E A M location!
We aren't going back West!!!
WE'RE MOVING TO SAVANNAH!!!!
Happy does not even begin to cover my emotions right now. I am so very very proud of my Mister. I am so so very thankful that we get to stay in the South and close to our families. After all the bad we have gone through here in Augusta, all the red flags, all the "what the hell is going on?" -- it finally all makes sense. We aren't where we are supposed to end up. We aren't able to settle and feel "at home" yet, because we haven't made it home!
So what's next? Well, we will be moving to Savannah within the next month. We knew about the interview so we only unpacked what we NEEDED. 60% of our home is in boxes in the garage. We are currently on the hunt for a home and planning a trip out to Savannah in the coming weeks to look at places and hopefully find one quickly! We are excited and very very happy about this change in events. Now hopefully we can settle down and start this next chapter with out any more curve balls!
Thanks for the comment! I hope you come back and read along again soon!
