He Got The Job...

Some of you already know this but for those of you who don't....he got the job. Praise God!! They made the offer yesterday and after some negotiating we were able to arrange a salary we could deal with and woohoo its done.
Now we are negotiating a start date and wouldn't you know they have come up with a rule that people can't change positions within the fourth quarter.? I had some interesting words and thoughts when I was presented with this news, however that won't do us much good. It looks like best case scenario he will start on the 1st of Dec.worst case scenario it will be the 1st of the year. Really?? Uhhhhh...didn't they know this momma was really counting on her first year of holidays without 12 hour shifts and working until 11pm or midnight.
Now that I have that off of my chest I will sit back, relax, wait, breathe and pray that we will get the soonest start date possible. But he got the job woohoo!
Thanks to all of you who were praying along with us for the change it is much appreciated!! Brian is so excited and I think a bit relieved for a change of pace. And after 8 years of retail (although don't get us wrong it is an amazing job with amazing benefits and compensation!) we are pretty pumped.
