Good news - American Family is going to make me an offer tomorrow! Not so good news - the pay here stinks! The pay range for the position was less than what I requested on my application, so the agent is going to crunch some numbers and said she'd be back with me tomorrow.
The pay range is exactly half what I used to make (not counting my awesome bonuses), and they offer NO benefits. I feel a little remorse for leaving my job. But I regret it a lot less when I see Brenden having fun with our families and enjoying our house. Now we just have to pray we can afford it!
We are walking a financial tightrope right now. Closing on this house will pretty much wipe out the savings we worked SO HARD to build up. We scrimped and saved from a year before Brenden was born so that Adam could stay home with him. Our savings stayed intact because I received a great raise a few months before he was born. I have to tell myself it was meant to be that we would use that money to buy our first home.

Congrats on the job offer. I know how tough it is to make do on a LOT less....but it is worth it to see the kids grow up near their family. Mike and I are tons happier now than we were in FL - and our financial situation was quite a bit better there. You couldn't pay me to take the kids (and us) away from what we have now.
Where's your new house? My last day of work is tomorrow (yay) so we should get together when you get settled.....
