There, instead of dragging it out, I figured I would get the major announcement out of the way before y'all had it in your heads that the change was a family expansion (don't even think about that for another 2-3 years).
Yes, the rumors are true. Our exile to Florida is coming to an end, and we're coming home. Matt put in his formal resignation yesterday, so now I can openly talk about it. Just so you are all aware, this has been in the plans since October. We just felt with the passing of Matt's dad, we really needed to be up north with his mom.
No, Matt doesn't have a job yet, and if you know of anything, would you point it in our direction? He's applied to 20 teaching jobs so far, but if you know of something he would be good at (like something with computers) that will 1) support a family of 3 and 2) keep us in the Des Moines/Ankeny/Ames area, we would love you forever if you helped us out!
Matt's last day of work down here is June 10. Right now we get free HBO with our rent, so we'll be sticking out the Game of Thrones season, and will probably be moving up around the 20th. My aunt has been very generous to offer us a place to stay until we figure things out. Hopefully we'll be moving up with a plan because Matt got a job. Cross your fingers and say a prayer for us!
Guess I'll have to rename my blog....
