I have no pictures for this post, but I promise it is worth it to read on.
2 weeks ago we were getting ready to close on our first house. Like two days away from it. Then the phone rang.
2 weeks ago all plans for the immediate future became void.
The phone call was from the curriculum director at Ben's school district. He said,
"Unless you have your Connecticut state certification in hand by the beginning of school, we need to find someone else to fill your position"
WHAT?
Ben had already cleared this possibility with his boss who assured him it wouldn't be a problem.
All of a sudden it was a big problem for this "John" person.
"Wait a minute, let me see what I can work out. Maybe there's a way" says Ben.
To make a long story short, all of our ideas came up short and there was no way Ben could get a job in Connecticut or Rhode Island. All thanks to beaurocratic nonsense.
So, with one brief phone call we were left with no job, no house (obviously had to walk away from it)... nothing.
Our heads spun, but one thing was for sure:
We are so thankful the phone call came
2 days before the closing
Things could have been way worse.
Instead, Ben should be arriving in Utah with a truck full of our things at this moment. The boys, my parents and I are flying out on the 15th. We feel blessed to have secured another job right away, especially in times like these.
Utah here we come again!
