Well my friends and foes...
It is more official than you would believe.
We are moving to Kansas City!!!!!!
Brian has a job,
he starts June 1st.
Acceptable salary.
Also, I put in my two weeks today.
DOUBLE YIKES!
Now, it is time for me to apply for a job.
I am nervous.
Super expensive moving truck is booked.
(Who knew those were so much money, yuck)
I feel like a weight has been lifted b/c Brian has a job and then I remember what a pain looking for job is. It is gross. I am trying to be excited about it and another plus it that my current job is starting the possibility of people working from home starting in a little over a month and they said there could be a possibility of me doing that, with better hours. We shall see...
This is my second to last night of working until midnight, can I hear a "what what!"
I am an unfortunate dork. Sorry. AND I just typed this whole post with no misspellings. The world is smiling on me today.

Drumroll please...
Brian was offered a job!!!!
As exciting as this is, they have not yet told him a starting date or how much money he will be making (but we know how much the starting salary is, so this won't be an issue). So we are waiting with our fingers crossed. I have my notice ready to give to my work as soon as he knows. I will keep you posted.
We also have an apartment all ready.
It is a couple blocks from Timmy and Erin.
2 bedroom, 2 bath, good price with a patio.
Great for having visitors (that means you!!).
I am excited to see Brian again on Friday.
He is taking the megabus into Chicago and I am driving to Chicago for the weekend.
My family is having a 90th birthday party for my grandma and her twin on Sat.
I also passed my state of michigan counseling test yesterday.
Whew, it was hard and super pointless.
We have been eating pretty healthy and whatnot
and are beginning to see the results.
Also I wanted to throw out a happy day after cinco de mayo and a happy day after your birthday to Dawn!

The following a doodle from work, when I write down a phone number/second mortgage amount/etc, I doodle over it and after a week, this is what I have:
It is getting out of control! Time to get back to work. Working until midnight really stinks.

Interviews update...
Hello, hello!
My legs, abs and arms may fall off today.
They hurt from working out.
Walking up/down the stairs to work today was embarassing.
I moved like an old woman and said, "ow" with each step.
I have also felt a tinsy bit less hungry,
still hungry, but not hungry enough to eat my arm or Potter.
But it feels good/healthy and I will win!
In other updates, we will now talk interview talk:
First interview:
Went good, he is over qualified, and doesn't think it will pay that much. It is like an assistant to the psychologist at the hospital. So we will see.
Second interview:
Went awesome. Brian said he felt really comfortable and like they liked him. Another plus is that they are hiring for multiple positions, so we shall see. They are doing second interviews later this week. Salary wise, we think it may be a little bit lower than we wanted but not bad. It is doing pretty much what Brian was doing in MI. Fingers crossed!
I will keep you updated.
Brian's family has been generous and is letting me stay with them while Brian is gone. They are nice and I am excited to have a "girls" day on saturday with Andrea and Sue. We are going to do some fun girly things (some things may be too girly to be named).
Took Friday off today. No plans thus far, I probably should study for the state of michigan exam I have to take for work, but... I could just take a mental health day, read, go on a long bike ride, write my book, study new moves for my abs, etc... Let's take a vote. What should I do on my day off on Friday?

Internet
Grrrr....
First our wireless router stopped working
so to use the internet at home we had to sit on the floor inches from the tv
or lean precariously off the love seat in the direction of the tv.
Now our internet isn't working at all.
So frustrating.
I am actually at work at a decent time today so that's why I am online.
But here almost all good sites are blocked.
Enough venting.
Brian made it safely to Kansas City.
It took him around 12 hours,
three diet cokes, a rainstorm and 12 mixed cds later
he is at Erin and Timmy's.
I am totally jealous.
Back to the daily grind.
PS. Potter is acting mopey. Last night she laid under our kitchen table and stared at the door. She didn't even really want to cuddle. She also has what we refer to as her "sad ears" on, where she looks like a house elf from Harry Potter. I think she misses Brian. (just like me)

I am so stressed with all that needs to be done.
I am sitting here on the computer.
Typical Amy behaviour.
I can't decide where to start.
We have A LOT of stuff.
Brian and I have made a friendly wager.
Whoever loses the most weight,
from tomorrow until I move to Kansas,
gets to buy a massage.
I am in it to win it.
Apparently it is the "thing" in my family.
To run a 5k.
So I am going to start training too.
Okay, I should get back to packing
Brian is looking at me crankily.
I wish I could just sit on our deck reading a book.
Time to get back to work.
