I found a job for Jim on the 'net that looks just about perfect. It's exactly what he has experience in, working for the EPA (a government job) and minimum pay would be 170% of what he was making before. Cool, huh?
It's in the general area of where we live -- close enough that he could commute for a while, but far enough that we would eventually have to move. It's just nice to think about being able to stay where we are until the lease runs out, rather than paying a penalty. The area is absolutely gorgeous. I like where we are now, but this is even better.
I started doing some online research on housing (we could afford a lot more than what we have now and possibly even buy a place). I keep telling myself that it's a good thing to look ahead and be prepared, but I have to be really careful not to count my chickens ahead of time. I don't want to be too disappointed if it doesn't happen.
The job was just recently posted and they'll be taking applications until the beginning of August, so I have a lot of time to both worry and count. Fingers crossed, though.

I really, really hope everything goes well and that you two experience a seamless transition.
I love you.

I just hope the transition isn't to living in the car. Our little Ford Aspire would be pretty hard to sleep in.
Hey, what's the news?
No news yet, I'm afraid. The only thing we got from them is that they have received his resume and other documentation. They only closed the applications last week and it's a government job, so you never know how long it will take.
