Jon's Job

This past week, Jon had a meeting with one of the principles at Hill, Barth, and King(HBK) to discuss a position with their company. He returned home with a written and signed offer for a full time position!!! He will start with them on September 1st. Until then, he will be studying for the CPA exam and working some where. We are VERY excited!!

Now that Jon has a job, we have begun discussions of moving out of my parents house. We have looked online for some houses that fit our budget and our criteria of what we want. However, we are finding, though, its tough finding a decent house in the Pittsburgh area. A lot of the houses we like on the outside, are so dated on the inside that we just have to move on. We just don't have the money right now to do major updating. But we keep looking and will get a realtor shortly to help us with our search. Houses are put on the market every day, so we will find something eventually!

Well that's all for now! MUCH LOVE!

My Husband is pretty smart!!!

On Saturday, May 7, 2011, Jon became an official graduate of RMU. He graduated magna cum laude, making him the first college graduate on both sides of our immediately family to graduate with that status! I would say I have a pretty smart hubby, don't ya think?!

And for those of you who didn't know, he was also inducted in to the Beta Gamma Simga honors society for business students in the top 10 percent of their class and also the Alpha Chi honors society for students who have a QPA of 3.7 or higher and are in the top 10 percent of their class. Again, I have a pretty smart husband!

Jon already has his diploma in hand, as he was finished with classes in December, and now we are just waiting to hear about an offer from HBK, where he interned this tax season. We are thrilled that we can finally see the end of this long "transition" period and that Jon was successful in his studies.

Overall, we have learned a lot during this time, and some day I hope to sit and reflect on all we have learned and been through these past 2+ years and maybe I'll even write about it so some day we can look back on this experience and remember what we accomplished together with God's guidance. But our story isn't over just yet. We still need to move out of my parents house!! We won't know when we will be able to do this until we know more details about work for Jon, so until then, we just keep on keeping on.

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day and is enjoying spring! Until later, Much Love!
