Turning a Page

Last week I mentioned that we had a big decision to make.  Well, we made it.

In just a few weeks, MacGyver will finish up his last class and will be an official engineer.  It's been a long, hard road, and we're both so happy to be moving on from the 'student' life.

For the past 6 months, he's been aggressively looking for a job around here.  He's had some interviews, but nothing has really panned out.  So on a whim, he decided to interview for a job a few hours away, and it went really well.

So in just a few weeks, we'll be packing our bags and moving about 2.5 hours away.  We're really excited, but also really nervous.  The company that MacGyver will be working for is well-established and really successful.  He feels like it will be a great fit, and there are some awesome benefits.

We've got quite the to-do list going on this week.  Lots of cleaning, fixing, and organizing to get our house up on the market.  We're hoping it sells quickly.

We're bummed to be moving further away from friends and family, but we're very thankful that we will only be a couple hours away.  Plenty close enough for day trips home and we'll be able to come home for birthday parties and stuff.

So off we go on our own adventure!
