Big News

The day we moved into this house (you know, the one we bought in December) Roy got an email from UNC Chapel Hill inviting him to do a phone interview for a job he had applied for earlier in the fall, right about the same time we found said house. Fast forward to the last week of March and through an in-person and separate phone presentation/interview and you see a huge career and family decision has been made...Lydia is mailing Roy's acceptance letter. I'm so proud of him for all his hard work to get to this point. Not only has he worked hard at BIO but he is 7/8 of the way through completing a certificate from Stanford, which he has worked on over many nights and weekends over the past 15 months. Let's keep in mind that he did this while serving in a very busy church calling, coaching several soccer seasons, doing the dishes each night and cooking Saturday dinners, and with 4 kids and me. So to say I am proud is an understatement. Roy will be awesome at this job and we are excited and nervous and terrified and relieved the interview process is complete and ready and anxious for the move to North Carolina.  There are lots of feelings, but have the overwhelming feeling of this being the right thing for our family at this time (even when it makes no sense because we just moved and just bought this house).  Even with the craziness of the last few months and the next few coming up, we absolutely know this is the right path for all of us.
