Good Bye Big City

Hey there.

So now that everything is official, and this huge burden has been lifted from our shoulders due to Jered's job offer, I feel another burden being dropped back onto mine.  How's that for short-lived joy?

Don't get me wrong- I am no less thankful for God opening the door and ushering us right on through- He is good.  I am no less happy for my fantastic husband, who just landed a smashing job.  I am no less excited that we will be moving to Des Moines shortly.  It's just that now it's Aimee's turn to start looking for jobs.  Aimee hates looking for jobs.  Hates it with a passion.

But looking for them, she is, and looking she will be, until God opens that door too.  I guess until then, Aimee will be learning patience.

Ok, enough of Aimee talking about herself in the third person.

I told Jered the other day that I think my problem is that I look for jobs until I find one that would be perfect.  I think, "Oh, this is just right!  It has to be the one!"  And then it's not.  And then it's devastation instead of just one more "not that one." 

So this time, I will not, or at least will try not to go about every application that way.  I will look and look and be positive without pinning my hopes and dreams on each application.  *Sigh* Wouldn't it be easier if just worked out my way instead?

I guess easier is not always the best.

Anyway...

How's this for crazy: Jered's looking up potential apartments for our very near future. In Des Moines.  Sorry- still not tired of saying that yet. 

 It was fun and exciting to move to Chicago, and I feel that we were here during the perfect time of our lives.  Newly married, no kids, nothing tying us down.  But let's face it: we are small town/country at heart.  A Kansas boy and a central Illinois girl.  And since it's a little hard to go back to that after living in the big city for a year, we think that Des Moines will be the perfect fit.

Well, I need to end my rambling because we are at the library right now, and supposedly there is a hefty storm coming our way, and I don't want to walk in it all the way home.

Bye!

Aim
