Here's how it happened.
April 6th I had a job interview for a position in Jacksonville. April 10th they called and offered me the position. The week in between the job interview and the time I got the offer, I had a still small voice saying "Jonnie, you need to pack." I didn't want to jinx myself out of the potential job, so I didn't pack anything. Eventually that little voice got a little more pronounced "Jonnie, get off of your ass and start packing!" By Monday morning, it was all but screaming at me. And then I found out why.
Monday morning, I got a phone call. "Can you be here by the 27th?" Sure, I said! Of course I can. Why not?
To make an incredibly long story less incredibly long, we left Utah Friday afternoon (the 17th) and arrived here Tuesday afternoon (the 21st). Wednesday we found a house to rent (I love it!) and moved all of the boxes in Friday morning. I'm certain the rental management company hates me, but we ended up where we wanted to be.
Soon, Matthew will be out of school and we will be getting a dog. I can't wait to settle down and make this place a home.

Best of luck Jonnie-I am envious of your fresh start, keep in touch!
Fresh start? Is that what you call this? I'm exhausted.
I started a new job today. It sounds like I'll enjoy it. But, I'm still going to miss you.
You'll have to come and visit sometime.
Congratulations, I'm so happy for you that you love your new place! But I am sad that we didn't get to see you before you left! Keep in touch!
