Just going a bit crazy, that's all! Nothing serious.

Once again, I haven't posted in a while! There has been a lot going on! First of all, I have to say my hubby is the bestest!! He finished his MBA last Monday (or technically Tuesday morning at 4:30 am)! I am so proud of him! It's been tough since it was an online program through his school that he got his first masters degree from in RI. It's taken a while, but HE DID IT! We can have a social life again, we can have a date more often, and he can spend more time with the kids again! Ahhh. It's a beautiful thing.
Now to fill you all in on what else is going on...our landlord has put the house we live in on the market. We weren't expecting that at all to happen when it did, but we started to plan to buy or at least look around for another place to buy if it wasn't this one. We love this house, and we like the neighborhood, the ward is okay. (We hate to compare to our wonderful, amazing ward in Newport, RI!!!)
Then about a week and a half ago, we got word from 3 of Richard's bosses that they will be terminating his job. He works for the church on the Joseph Smith papers project, but sadly a lot of the project was funded by Larry Miller and the stocks he held with GM. Now that GM has gone down, the funds have dropped. And basically law students or interns can do Richard's job. BUT, the good thing is that they're going to try to give him up to 6 months before he's out. I can't complain too much. So, we have some time to find a new job. But we're thinking this is the time to put his degrees to work, which means the jobs he'll be applying for will be out of state. Once again, we have to put buying a house on hold. sigh. Someday, it'll happen.
There it is in a nutshell! Just a bit crazy. But, I certainly feel that things will work out, just ask me on the right day. :)

I hope everything works out for you guys, it is good that they are giving him six months so he can find something else.
Good luck. :)

Congratulations on the MBA!! That is awesome! I guess you can at least be grateful that he got done with his MBA before he got laid off . . . hopefully he will now be able to get a really great job! Good luck!
