The Job Hunt Is Over

A couple weeks back Chase had an interview with a company in Tempe. He wasn't terribly interested in the Job because it was only part time. But he figured that if nothing better came up, then part time is better than no time. He said the interview went well but that they had more they were doing the next week and he should hear back in about 2 weeks.

Just less than a week later he received an email asking when would be a good time for him to go back in to the office over the next two days. We weren't sure if this was going to be good or bad, but we did know that the interviews weren't over yet. Chase let the business manager know that he would be able to come in the next day, January 11th, around 1pm. 

Since it was our anniversary, we had plans to go see a movie and grab dinner. So I just went with him to the meeting and waited in the car. After about 30 minutes he came back out. He said it went really well and handed me a packet of papers. 

The first things I saw were 9:00-5:30 and salary. 

I couldn't believe it! Oh how we are blessed. Chase went in thinking it would be part time but because the owner was so impressed with him, decided that he was what the company needed for their full time engineer!

I cannot tell you how excited we are that Chase found work less than a month after he graduated, that is full time, located here in Arizona, and pays more than we thought he would be making for a while.

This is a huge blessing that will lead to many more blessings throughout this year. The first, we are hoping, is a house. I've spent the majority of the last two days driving neighborhoods we like, searching online listings, and calculating budgets and figuring what a comfortable house payment would be. 

I knew this was going to be a great year for us. I just wasn't aware of how quickly things would fall into place. Thanks for your support and prayers. Now cross your fingers we'll find a home within our budget and quick :)
