Our Good News

I'll say it first - no I'm NOT pregnant. It seems I always jump to that conclusion when someone else makes an announcement. But this is really big.

I call it "Our Good News" b/c a few weeks back on a day I was particularly depressed I said to Anthony, " I just need some good news." Since September we seem to have stumbled on some major bad luck and seem to have had negativity thrown at us left and right. But today we got our good news.

Today - ANTHONY GOT A JOB OFFER! We're so excited and are 99.9% sure that he will take it. Basically that means unless something else comes up in the next 24 hours which we're not expecting we'll be accepting the position tomorrow morning. The job doesn't start for over 6 months but it is such a relief to know that upon graduation in May WE HAVE EMPLOYMENT! It also takes so much stress off of Anthony's shoulders so he can concentrate on finals, next semester of classes and studying for the Bar Exam.

We're so excited and so grateful for our good news! Its made my day, my week and my month!

Yay!!! I'm so glad that worked out for you guys. I guess this means you'll be leaving us though. Sniff sniff.

Yes, but not until June or August. We haven't decided if we'll leave right after graduation or stick around until after the Bar.
