change of plans

{taken at the zoo today}

we were suppose to be moving to california this wednesday.
but these past few weeks have been crazy.

so many hard decisions... so little time.
the situation is a little complicated...
eddie is officially done with classes
but to graduate he has to complete a 400 hour internship
he was hoping/planning on getting a job starting in dec/jan.
and using his job as his internship.
well the job market stinks right now.
and the opportunity didn't present itself.
we had a lot of close calls with getting a job.
but when push came to shove, we had nothing.
not even a solid internship opportunity.

so we decided we would move to california.
stay with my parents until eddie could get a job/internship.
i started packing. made a list of everything i needed to cancel
and/or organize for our move.
we had given our notice at church that we would be moving.
we felt good about it.
looking forward to it actually, we would be closer to family.

a week ago, eddie came home and announced he had gotten an internship.
yay! i knew he had been talking to some people in california
so i assumed it was for there.
nope. here at UofL in their athletic department.
he hadn't accepted the position yet because he wanted to talk to me first.
gasp! what?!?...we are moving in less than 2 weeks, is all i could think
i was actually walking out the door to an appt.
so all i really said to him was, cool...that's great.
thinking of all the things i will need to un-do or un-pack.

or if our apartment complex will even let us stay.

well needless to say, we didn't really even have to talk about it.
i came home and we both said the same thing at the same time.
even though we are ready to move on and out of here.
we need to stay for a few more months.
so we signed a new lease and will be staying
in our apartment for 3 more months.
hopefully by then eddie can find a job.
