Update on DH's job
So this is a bit overdue, but I was trying to sort out all my emotions over the whole thing. I've given the 'sort-out' up so here goes...
Remember how dh interviewed for a Vegas job? Well he got the job! Great work culture, friendly people, nice benefits, LESS pay! And true to his unpredictable form, he took the job, believing this is the right choice for him.
The plan--he would move up there and stay with his aunt that lives there and we would follow over the summer, if it is really the job that he loves (side note that I kinda think he secretly hates his field and needs to change, but he's a little old with many bills and mouths to feed). We made the list of pros and cons and even though I'm not keen on the whole LESS pay aspect, I want him to be happy and I want to be supportive (urgh).
So, he's been playing phone tag with his aunt and he finally got ahold of her yesterday--she says NO he can't stay with her! What?! She even has a guest house! Um, this is not how I define family? My parents are very giving and generous peeps and I really thought this part was a no-brainer. Not even for a few days while he finds something more permanent!
Now what? We're scrambling to find him something to rent which we really can't afford (hello LESS pay) and to be honest, I don't think I want to move. I don't know, it's just a bit of a stressful time...
Re: Update on DH's job
WHHHATT? What is her reasoning?
I'm so sorry Shelly! That is a lot to try and organize, especially on such a time crunch.
I hope everything works out though. Or doesn't work out, since I don't think you should move.
Just kidding. I seriously do hope you guys can find an alternative.
I wondered what ever came of the Vegas interview but figured I must have missed it since I'm not around much.
Sorry to hear it's being so stressful, especially since it's not a move you're particularly looking forward to. How soon would he have to be there? Is there an extended stay hotel close to where his job would be? Though maybe that wouldn't be any cheaper than a tiny apartment. I guess the bright side is Vegas' market got hit just as hard if not a bit harder than we did, so hopefully that will work in your favor some.
wow what a roller coaster. your aunt is whacked why wouldn't she let him stay there it is after all very temporary. karma will come back and bite her when it comes for her time of need. I can understand not wanting to rent and pay a mortgage here going with less pay.
i hope everything will work out for you. stay positive
Quoted for truth!

Thanks ladies! We found him a room to rent on Craigslist, it's less than a mile to his office and way cheaper than a hotel.
As far as his aunt goes, my guess is this--she's his aunt 'by marriage' and his uncle passed away last year. I think she just wants to cut the ties, which if you ask me is still way lame. Not even one night? Gah!
He starts on Monday so this week is crazy busy! He's a poor planner and I'm neurotic--it's quite the balance lol!
