Interestingly enough for me, the idea of moving is welcome.
I like where we are right now. The town is a good size (oh, it's small but there are larger towns not too far), the church we attend has brought all of us farther spiritually than we have been before, and we have our routines down based on what we have to work with-home school, my school, hubby's job, scheduling trips here and there.
I'm not saying that we are moving; just thinking about it.
An opening has been brought to hubby's attention (by his boss) that may work out for him. I can't tell what the job is because I don't understand all that hubby's work entails. I do know it is in the same company but a different branch. Hubby has a Mechanical Engineering degree and that I know of, he has perhaps used it in one job. This opening would allow him to use that degree and all the other experience he has gained while working the various positions he has the last few years.
The opening is in Washington; just a day's drive from all our family! Perhaps that is the real reason I am thinking about it so much. I can't take my Oregon trip this June (hope to later in the year though) and am missing my family.
It would be interesting to move.
But like I said, I'm not saying that we are moving...but maybe.
I have been thinking about my college career (because it has become my second job!) and I'm more limited than I would like where I am. Currently I am a distance education student with Eastern Oregon University and I like it. But...they don't offer the classes I want online. They don't offer the degree I want online. I checked into local college courses at University of Wyoming, Western Nebraska Community College and Eastern Wyoming College (also a community college) and they don't offer the classes either! However, EOU does offer the courses I am interested in on campus.
As far as my schooling goes I will continue to plug away at it based on where I am and what opportunities I have. I am not going to go to a specific state/town simply based on the fact that the college course would work for me. That'd be a little more selfish than I am willing to be.
Okay, well, that's enough for today...
Blossom, it would be so nice if you did move to Washington! Wow! We perhaps could even go see you once in a while!!!
ReplyDeleteI know you are not saying it is a sure thing, but IF it happened, what time frame are they thinking before it happens.
I can't even give you a time frame because I don't know. He applied for it yesterday, the 19th and sometimes it takes a long time, sometimes a short time. It took months for us to move to here. I think it took at least a couple months for him to even find out that he got the job here (not that I had any doubts...)
ReplyDeleteTime frame: 6 months or more
He still is 'under contract' to be at this shop for another year actually...
