We have been so busy it's crazy. We listed our house with an agent and knew we had to do something with our kitchen (appliances from 1963) So we've got a new stove, microwave hood and fridge. We had replaced our dishwasher a few months back when the old one exploded, literally. We are got new counter tops and Jeremy installed a tile backslash. I think I actually like my kitchen now :) The outside has gotten painted, along with the guest bedroom, which was the only room not painted since we moved here. Everything is starting to look real good. Once we have everything nice and neat, the real estate agent will come take pictures and hopefully it will sell.
Jeremy and I are traveling April 23-28 to Oklahoma on a house hunting trip. There is lots for sale out there, we are uneasy about having 2 mortgages.
Jeremy is set to start is new job May 26, so that is QUICKLY approaching, and we'll be moving about 1 week prior to that.
I'll post an update after we return from our trip.

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.
