On a whim, Mike applied for a Senior Analyst position with the Children's Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia. He had just received a promotion at his current job with Cardinal Health in Dublin, Ohio, but we have been wanting to move closer to our families for quite some time now, especially now that we have this little one in tow. He had a phone interview the week before Easter, and was flown down last weekend for an on-site interview, including several panels and one-on-ones. He knew that there were three people interviewing for two positions, so while trying to not get too excited, we have been hopeful, and praying that if God wanted us back in Virginia, He would give us a way.
We found out today; he got the job!
Now we have to move.
Three weeks. One lady. One working man. One non-napping baby.
Ha.
I really hate moving. It's such a pain. There is so much packing, and lifting, and painting, and cleaning, and losing things, and living out of boxes, and finally unpacking, etc. Of course, it's hard enough to just do it, but to do it with a baby? Gah! I'm just sitting here looking around at all the things I have to find boxes for, and I want to cry. Well, crying isn't going to get those boxes packed. Besides, MJ has been fussing in her crib for the last 30 minutes (not crying; I swear I wouldn't just let her lie there and CRY for 30 minutes . . . ), so I guess that's enough whining for the both of us.
I need to make a list.
P.S. We're looking to rent for a while, so if anyone knows of any great 3-bedroom townhomes, houses, or apartments for rent in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, or VA Beach, let us know pronto!!
Also, anybody want two awesome cats?

You can't take the kitties? Amber
ReplyDeleteCongrats - happy to have you back in VA - we'll get to see you guys now!!!
ReplyDeleteAmber - I'm sure it depends on where we move. It would just be easier not to have to move them with us. Want them? They're really sweet and wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Mike and to your family who "get" you! I hear you about the move. I'd help but the boys will be with me and...it will be more of a mess after we leave.
ReplyDeleteKelley, I wish I could take them, but I've got two cats and two dogs now - Patrick says things like "divorce" when I mention getting another. :( Amber
ReplyDeletehey Kelley! I love your posts!! Congratulations on moving home...Erik and I will probably be there in another year. We weren't sure for a while, but now that seems to be the plan. Good luck packing! I hate it too, especially for "cross country" moving! :) - Emily I.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Kelley! I'm jealous in a good way! We are applying anywhere and everywhere. Whoever gets a job first, we'll move to that area. There was just a music position open in Richmond, but it's off the website now! Anyway, enjoy VA...especially for me too! My heart belongs there, and if God wills it, it will happen. Who knows what he still may want us to learn in awful Ohio, first, though...Take care, and bless you for moving with a baby!
