So...

It's been a while. Let's see if I can keep this up this time.

So any of you who read this know that we are now in New York. You probably also know the story of how we got here but I need a jumping off point.

Last time I posted I had an interview with a clothing store: maurices. (And yes the lack of capitalization is intentional.) I got that job and for the most part enjoyed it.

Fast forward a few months.

After several conversations in which Matt wasn't sure about the furniture company and really wanted to get back into higher education, I suggested he look into jobs for residence life.

Fast forward to February.

The furniture company found out Matt was looking for other jobs and gave him an ultimatum: stop searching or get out. So, Matt's last day was at the end of February and I put in my notice at maurices. We packed everything up, loaded the pets in the car, and drove out to New York.

We are now living with Matt's dad. I have found a job with Gymboree (thank goodness we don't have children or I would spend my paycheck). Matt has an interview with Gamestop. In the meantime Matt has applied to several universities and is waiting to hear from them. If (when) he gets a job, it will likely start in July. I am putting off my higher ed search until we figure out Matt's situation. (Since his job would be live-on, it would be ridiculous for me to apply to a job that is on the other end of the state from his.)

So, this is where we find ourselves. And if I actually put my thoughts on paper(?) this time these chronicles should be a little more interesting...
