Job interview went well, of course.  It's for a job I don't want.  I'd be awesome at that job.  But the 35min commute PLUS the 20% decrease in pay  is just something I don't think I can handle.  One of the other, I'd probably take it.  But both???

Sunday, I went to Flint to visit one of my best friends.  She just got a new job in Kalamazoo.  They are hiring 100ish people in our field.  And it's at a good company.  Like a 'keep this job for 30 years and retire' type of company.  So I would LOVE to get in there.  It's not automotive, which is another huge draw.  Since it gets me into medical, I might even have the option in a while to move back down here because there are 3 huge medical companies about 40 minutes from here.  (All competitors to the place I applied.)

I applied Monday morning, and had to fill out a couple questionnaires.  But the specific job I applied for could have been written for me.  About me.  It IS me.  This is the first job I've really applied for that I truly hope I get.  However - they had at least 5 or 6 that fit and I could do.  So fingers are crossed.

My mom was a little upset when I told her I applied out of state.  She knows we'd eventually move.  (DH would stay here with kids until the house sold and I'd get an apartment up there.  If I found a great school I might take #1 with me...but probably not until school's over.)

We haven't mentioned to the  IL's for fairly obvious reasons.  MIL is going to flip.  SIL will understand.  But MIL will likely remove DH from will.  And he will be so upset.  Not because of the financial implications of that...but because of what it represents.  He doesn't like to admit it, but he's absolutely a Momma's boy.  I knew that when I married him.  But her cutting him off like that would really cause an issue with them I think.

We won't mention it either until I have a job offer in hand and we have a plan.
