Brian has been applying for jobs like crazy in the past oh 6 months or so. He didn't get a single one. Our hopes were running low. Each time he would come to me with a new place that he applied at, and I would google the area, look at rental houses and normally fall in love. Only to be disappointed time after time.
Well, a few weeks ago, he told me there was one available in Chattanooga Tennessee. I looked at the houses, made sure they had a good mall and a Target and I was hooked. Not to mention it is only 2 hours from nashville, Atalanta, Knoxville, and a few other places. There is a great Aquarium and Lookout Mountain!
Finally, after a week and a half of living in suspense...HE GOT THE JOB!!!
Of course, I am going to be so sad to leave our families and take Jocelyn away from her grandparents. But, I am so excited to start something new and really on our own. Luckily, it is only a 9-ish hour drive back home. I already have big plans of returning for a wedding/Thanksgiving and Christmas! Do you really think I am going to spend Christmas with no family? No Way!
We have such a quick timeline, and all we have to do is finally hitting me. He is scheduled to start the new job on September 20th...Not even a month away. So we are flying up next week to look around and find somewhere to live.
I am trying to squeeze all my clients into 8 more days, pack, go out to dinner with my friends, visit my family, chase Jocelyn around, sell our house... The list goes on and on. I will be excited to finally get there and have things calm down.
I was supposed to be taking the last class I need for my AA this semester too, but decided that it is going to be too much to focus on. I know how hard it is for me to study anyways and with all this I would never do it. Fortunately, I dropped it in time to get the tuition refunded!
Right now, the thing I am looking forward to the most is actually seeing a change of seasons! I am about to die in this heat ( and I know it is still hot up there, but Autumn will actually be there shortly) I am sure that I will change my tune afterwards, but I can't wait until Winter! I got Jocelyn some cute baby ugg-like boots from Target and I can't wait for her to wear them.
That's another fun thing, Since it will actually be cold, I can go get a bunch of winter clothes for Jocie and myself. I never buy cold weather stuff, it is going to be so much fun :)
It's been a while since you have seen some new pics of Jocelyn, Here she is! I am amazed by how long her hair looks and how much she has grown. I guess I don't realize it until I see her in pictures.
