Well it looks like the job hunt is over.
FINALLY.
Perhaps it didn't seem that long for all of you, but it felt like a lifetime to some of us.
Jared had an interview in Colorado as I mentioned a couple months ago, and then he had one here in Utah. Both were really promising, and so we had to make the decision on where we really wanted to live.
We agonized over it. We have been planning to move to Colorado for years now, but now that it came down to it we weren't so sure. It was going to be really expensive to move (not to mention a humongous pain in the butt), but mostly we have worried about whether it's the best thing for the kids.
We could think of little else for these past weeks. We prayed to know what we should do, we asked the kids what they thought (they were ok with either way), talked about it endlessly, cried about it, lost many nights of sleep, and had many stomache aches. The problem was that there wasn't a right or wrong, really, they are both good places. We couldn't lose either way, but we also couldn't win; if we move to Colorado it's farther from my family. If we stay here it's farther from Jared's.
In the end we felt like we really should stay here for now. It feels right. Who knows what will happen down the road, but for now we're here to stay.
Jared got an official job offer today at the hospital where he did his preceptorship! They have to do a background check, and then he can start, which should be in a couple weeks.
I don't have to pack all our stuff into a huge UHaul and drive it hundreds of miles.
The boys can stay at their school with the kids and teachers they know and keep the friends they have.
We're not farther from my family :) We're not closer to Jared's :(
I thought I would finally sleep well tonight, but now I can't stop smiling and thinking about our future.
It was a good day.
