We're moving!

So for years now Jeremy has been looking for a job with the Federal Gov't working with Wildlife. They are very hard to find. He's only applied to maybe 2-3 over time just b/c they are so scarce. Well a few weeks ago he got called and had a phone interview for a job at Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. A few days later they called and check references and it's been a few weeks so we had given up hope. Well, this past Thursday they offered him the job! He beat out 134 eligible applicants for the position. The perks and benfits are AMAZING. However this is all happening very quickly. He is set to start in 2 months. So we have to sell this house, find a house and move out there in approximately 6 weeks time. We told my parents today and are telling Jeremy's parents tonight when we get to Madison. We are very excited and scared at the same time. In our minds this is a temporary (maybe 3-5 years) job and will move back to FL. Since he will be a Federal employee it will be a lot easier to transfer into a position in FL.

Congrats, Alanna!! I'm sure these next 2 months will be stressful, but it will be so nice to be settled in before Baby #2 gets here!
