So on February 24 I worked my last day at my wonderful banking job in preparation of "The PCS". I gave myself 1 week to Clean and Pack and prepare for our DITY (Do It Yourself) move from Oklahoma to Fort Lewis, WA. Man did I need that full week to Pack more than ever. My good friend Kayla and I had packing parties and help each other prepare for our next big adventures with the Army. Although we were moving to the opposite sides of the country we knew we'd still be apart of one another's lives.
Kayla is from Washington so in the search for housing everything she has been my go to resource. Her family and Allen's are still in Washington and have been so willing to help us with anything and everything we've needed. It has been a wonderful blessing to have Kayla and her family in our lives.
As we prepared to move to Washington we decided that with the 10 year low in the housing market and the super low interest rates that it was a great time for us to purchase our first house. We searched and searched and searched and found a wonderful new build home in a safe neighborhood that we were so blessed to find. We got qualified for the loan and began all of the paperwork......But the only hitch is that we qualify with me employed in Oklahoma but as soon as my job was over to move we no longer qualified. In order for everything to go through I have to find a job in Washington ASAP. So the Job search began a few weeks before we left and I finally heard back from one of the prospects, Wells Fargo, but they were hiring before I could get there. 2 weeks later I heard back from them, they were still hoping to fill as couple more positions and I got an interview. Now it has been 6 days and I'm anxiously waiting for tomorrow to roll around to find out if I have a second interview or if I was declined. UGH!!! I'd like to know already.
So the job search continues.....over 25 applications and only 2 responses back, I'm starting to get nervous. I'm really excited about my job interview today with REI and we all continue to pray that everything will work out as god plans and that a I will find a wonderful job soon. Today the job search is going to be extended a little further from our home in hopes that something will come open or at least it will help pass my time. I know I will find a job, but I hope I can find it before we can't extend this house offer any longer.
