He did it!!!!

What a weekend this was - and that would have been true even if almost every smoke alarm in the house (15) didn't go off for about 45 minutes this morning. No fire, just a huge headache. But that's another story. . .

The best part of this weekend is that ROB GOT A JOB!!! Yea! On Monday he finished school, on Friday he got a phone call with an offer. He even used some shrewd negotiation skills to get a little bit more than they originally offered.
a
In two weeks he'll start as a case manager for Molina Healthcare in Midvale, UT. Not exactly what we were hoping for (we'd be okay leaving the state to more sunshine and warmth than Utah offers), but the positive side is that we'll around friends and family--oh, and Molina benefits (which are great) start 30 days after Rob starts working. And as for being near friends, maybe we'll see some of them more often now that school's done--I hope so. For a while he'll still be working at LDS Family Services, too. That means a lot of hours (which I'm not looking forward to), but at LDS Family Services he'll be able to get hours towards his LCSW, and at Molina that won't happen. It's not the perfect job, but we're happy with it as a starting point--especially in this economy.

Way to go, Rob--thanks for working so hard to get through school and to secure a job!
