The Decision

We've finally made a decision about our future. It was a very stressful week or so. Lots of sleepless nights, praying, stressing, debating, circling, what-if-ing, and wondering. I don't really want to stay in Utah and I don't really want to live in Arizona, so I kept hoping that magically door number three would appear...but it did not. Aaron got an offer from imSAR for $7,000.00 a year less than the offer from Raytheon. One of us would decide to choose one thing, and the other would counter it so well that we'd switch over to the other thing, only to find that the other person had changed their mind and wanted to go the other way.

But Aaron had an impression that is wasn't about the money, and he felt like as far as job experience goes imSar would be the better fit for him because it would give him more opportunities. Although I'm having a hard time turning away from Raytheon and taking the pay cut, I support Aaron in his choice. We signed the offer with imSAR and will be taking the job 15 whole minutes away from here, in Spanish Fork, UT as soon as Aaron graduates.

I'm just glad to be done and have the decision made.

I have been thinking about you and your decision. My sister-in-law who lived in Tuscon for a while was visiting and loved it. She said her garden did well and there were lots of places with grass- the park and the right neighborhoods. Her sister still lives there. I am glad you are happy with your choice.

well, at least it won't be so difficult to search to find a new place to live!
