change isn't always easy
There have been a few of changes happening in our life. All been good changes for the most part. The biggest change of all is a couple of months ago Eric (my amazing husband. love you babe.) was offered the perfect job. We felt a huge sigh of relief. After fourteen months of being on the unemployment train we were thankful to finally be getting off. The stress of having a family, being unemployed and having to deal with Owain's latest,longest and hopefully his last surgery(Cross our fingers).We were so thankfully that finally our prayers were answered and hubs found a job in graphic design. Something he has been trying to get into since he graduated with a Bachelor in Fine Arts five years ago.Hasn't been easy since every place wants you to have two plus years experience. Kinda hard to do fresh out of college.Not to mention the economy isn't all that great. Just about every job hubs applied for their were two hundred other applicants gunning for the position.
He was a print specialist before they laid him and a handful of other employees. It was the kinda job that was alright it paid the bills.He didn't love it and defiantly couldn't see himself growing with the company. So when they laid him off fourteen months ago we felt it was a blessing in disguise. No one really wants to be put in that situation jobless with a family to feed and medical bills to pay.Not to mention all the other bills that come along with being a grown up. Us trying to have a positive out look we saw this as an opportunity for him to move forward and find a job in graphic design. A job were he could be creative. A job were he would look forward to going to everyday. A job with full benefits.A company were he can grow with in that very company. After fourteen months on the unemployment train that perfect job found hubs or hubs found it. Either way everything always works out eventually. Sometime you just have to be patient and work hard so another door can open.
The only draw back is we had to relocate. The commute would be to much for hubs. The timing couldn't be more perfect our lease was ending.Everything was falling right into place. It's amazing how it all kinda works out that way.We quickly found another apartment to rent. Were going on our third week in our new apartment home. I am hardly in love with it.I don't hate it but am defiantly not in love. The area well it's okay. I miss being on the other side of the river. I miss all my wonderful mommy friends and Owain's little buddies. It's taking some time to get use to our new little town outside of Portland just on the other side of the river. I am not in love with our new neighborhood or town for that matter but our apartment home is starting to feel like home.Now that all but one box is unpacked and pictures are hung.
The best part of our move is why we moved. Hubs's career. He loves it. It's totally worth the big change. Even though change isn't always easy. It's totally worth it to see hubs happy. Loving his new job. Being able to use his creativity on a daily basis and get paid for it. It's perfect for him Perfect for us.

aren't the two men in my life stink'in cute?
I am so glad that your hubby got his dream job! I have wondered what/when he got a job. Sorry you had to move. It is hard to get adjusted to a new place isn't it?
We moved about 45 minutes away back in February and it is still a transition. Unfortunately we are back on the unemployment train too as this job didn't work out...
O'well, it's an adventure isn't it!?!
