One thing down...

and about a million more to go! Last week we all took a trip out of town for C's job interview. We left Princess P with her Grandparents and I went with him to calm his nerves (plus he had no idea where to go). After 30 minutes elapsed and still no sign of him I figured it was going pretty good. So in the meantime I called the insurance company, scheduled a doctors appointment, learned that our license plates are expired (oops!) and talked to my mom. At about the hour mark C appeared with another man. I had no idea what was going on so I stepped out of the car and the man introduced himself. He then looked at me and said that C had two strikes against him so he needed to talk to me. At this point I am thinking oh great if I knew I was going to be interviewed too I might have put a little more clothes on. Then I thought well, maybe it might help! The man said "Number one he is in the Air Force and not the Army and number two he left his wife sitting in the car." After finding out the man was simply joking he told me that he was very interested in C but had other candidates to interview for the job. We shook the man's hand and get into the car. C then proceeded to tell me how well the interview went and how much he liked the guy. I assumed it would be well over a week before we heard anything back so we went along with our vacation as planned. The next day C received a phone call saying that he had got the job! He was so very happy and I am too. It has taken a big load off my chest knowing that he is not going to be unemployed. Even though it is less than what he is making now I am happy he was able to find a job in this market. So that is one thing down but oh so many more to go. Like selling the house or heck even renting it out. But wish us luck, we have a couple coming to look at it later today!
