Job Update.
Posted in on 4:29 PM by Jess
Well, still no job yet. Coop went to an interview on Friday that went well he said. Hopefully we hear something this week if they decide to go further with him. He also has 2 other opportunities and one with his brother's girlfriends company. It is awesome to have opportunities, but it will be great to actually nail down a job so that we can move forward and start the home buying process. Patience, patience, patience. I am not normally a patient person but this situation has caused me to find patience where I never thought I would find any. We just keep plugging along and praying things will work out soon.
Poor Sofie!

Well if life isn't stressful enough for us lately, Sofie has been at the vet all weekend after having surgery.
Friday afternoon, my MIL, SIL and Ben were walking Sofie and Pogo (SIL's dog) on the leashes to get the mail. They were in our yard when the neighbor across the street opened the gate to pull a car in and their dog got loose. The dog proceeded to head straight for the dogs and our Sofie is the one that got the brunt of the attack. :(
The kids and the other dog are fine, but Sofie wound up going to the vet for surgery due to a hernia and a deep puncture wound. She is going to be just fine, she is just resting and recovering for the weekend. We can pick her up tomorrow. The owner of the dog will be paying for her vet bill (to the tune of around 700 bucks) so luckily we don't have to. I mean, we would have if he wasn't going to, but I am glad he is doing the right thing and is going to pay for it.
That incident kind of set the mood for the weekend and everyone has kind of been in a funk. The job interviews and job opportunities that Coop got on Friday afternoon were kind of forgotten once Sofie got hurt. She is a very loved member of our family and we will all be glad when she is back home here with us.

Interview.
Posted in on 5:11 PM by Jess
Tomorrow Coop has another interview for a job. We passed on this job a couple weeks ago because it wasn't the ideal job and he was going to interview for the state. Well, the state job didn't work out so we are revisiting this job. I am cautiously optimistic. Jobs are hard to come by here and we really need something. He can still look for something better but this will put money in the bank and get us in a house for now. We need this. I hope it comes through. *crossing finger*
Tennessee.
Posted in on 9:44 PM by Jess
Well, we are in TN now. It has been two weeks since we got here. It is good to be home but a bit stressful as well. We are living with Coop's parents for the time being. It is going ok, but I really would have a date to be leaving. Nothing against his parents at all, but imiss having my own place.
Coop is still job hunting. He has had a couple of interviews and one job offer, but the money was horrible. At the moment he is just kind of searching and applying when he finds something. I know it has only been 2 weeks, but we are concerned. I guess anyone would be. Right now we pray and keep pressing on. It will happen, we just have to be patient. Patience is not one of my virtues but I have been learning how to be patient lately. I think I am handling it pretty good considering.
The kids are okay. Their life is all crazy and so they have good days and bad days. They are tough though and will adjust pretty well. They just need some time.
Being here is definitely an adjustment. It will take some getting used to but I hope that by the end of summer, we will be on our way to settling into our new life here in TN.
