finally

(this post was written yesterday, but blogger wasn't working)

It has been a frustrating last couple of months. Steve passed the NCLEX in April and he has been trying feverishly to find an RN position since then. The problem being, that all of the available RN positions want someone with experience. Which of course Steve doesn't have yet. In the last few weeks he has finally started to get some interviews and we started to feel hopeful. Friday he got a phone call offering a job in Page Arizona. (but we didn't feel like it was a good fit for us.) After he got off the phone he got another call, this one from Ogden asking him to come up for an interview and polygraph on Monday. So we went up Sunday and on Monday Steve went to Ogden and took a three hour polygraph and a short interview. Tuesday we left to go back to St George, nearly halfway through the trip he got a phone call from Ogden offering him the job! They needed him to do a drug test before he could start, so we flipped around and came back. After MANY more phone calls and a lot of discussion, Steve was asked that his first day be Thursday. So today he drove back up to Ogden for the drug test and then took the boys and I all the way down to St George (so we can pack up and things) and he went right back up to Ogden. We are so grateful for this job offer. It is a great position and we have so many wonderful friends and family who are stepping up to help us get things figured out. We are so excited about our future and we are ready to begin this next part of our journey!
