Job Woes

Tyler slaved to find a job, he applied to SO many companies and worked so hard. I am so proud of him. The good news is, he finally got some offers. He accepted one for a CPA firm here in Tucson. Not our ideal place to live but it's a good job. We had been looking for a new apartment (bigger!) and we decided to buy a house instead since prices and interest rates are so low. So we got a Realtor and began the hunt for a house. It was fun while it lasted.

A couple weeks ago Tyler got a couple emails from some companies he'd applied to way back when wanting to interview him. One of the companies was one of the big 4 accounting firms, which was our original ideal job. So we talked about it and decided that it would be worth it to interview with this company. The job is for Phoenix, so that meant we had to quit house hunting. But we, especially me, would MUCH rather live in Phoenix. Tyler has LOTS of family in that area and it would be a couple hours closer to my family. The downside is that it is actually hotter there. But we can handle it!

So now we are back to waiting, wishing, wondering, where we will be in the future. The interview was last Friday, almost a week ago! and they still haven't gotten back to us. They told the interviewees that they would let them know Monday or Tuesday. But here we are, THURSDAY, and we still haven't heard anything. Tyler emailed them and they said, "by Thursday" but we'll see if they come through this time.

Until then we'll just be crossing our fingers, praying that he gets this job! It would really free up our summer to get this job, a break that Tyler really needs. He worked so hard this last year in school and finished his masters with a 3.9 GPA! Even after he got appendicitis the week before finals! He is amazing. Again, I am so proud. And I would love for him to have a little relax time.

We will keep y'all posted on what happens and where we're headed in the coming week or so!
