Well, this is it. It’s happening. I can breathe.
It’s official. All of it.
James had his final phone interview yesterday, and by the afternoon he was informed that they’d be making him an offer for sure. So this morning, he had two phone calls from managers of different teams to give him a breakdown of what each of the two jobs would entail. From there, he made his choice of which position he felt would be more appropriate for his skills, let HR know his decision, and was given his formal offer.
He accepted it.
And I would like to say that this and the part where he told his current manager that he is resigning from his job all happened while I was taking a nap this afternoon.
Yeah, I know. It’s a shock. I couldn’t believe the girls slept long enough for me to actually nap, either. Can you imagine that they both just took a couple hour nap? Did that actually happen? When the heck does that ever happen?
Oh right. The part where MY HUSBAND JUST ACCEPTED A JOB OFFER IN SEATTLE!
His official start date is August 31st. As in, next month. As in, next month in the city of Seattle. As in…
…we are moving to Seattle in a few weeks.
The company is relocating us, so in a matter of weeks, our butts will all be on a plane to our new residence, a.k.a. The Emerald City.
I am absolutely, completely and totally in shock right now. I don’t think the news has actually consciously hit me yet.
I’m dreaming right now, right?
HOLY CRAP!

And, great news…I heard on the news today that Tucson is supposed to be one of the best places to live in the US, so maybe you’ll have fast, good luck selling the house.

One more thing… I know first hand what it is like to work in the organization James was in. It must have felt freaking AMAZING to hand in that resignation. It was something I used to fantize about while I was still there. They loose – big time.
