Not much has gone on in the Christensen Zoo this week. Grandma Jan had a birthday. Justin Registered for his LAST Semester of school (unless he decides to do a masters) that's quite a mile stone for us. My stress can ease a bit. ATK offered Justin a Job INTERVIEW, I'm hoping it goes good. GOOD LUCK BABE! His other interview on Thursday went good he thinks. They will let him know something this week. My ultimate wish would be for Justin to get both job offers then we can decide which would be a better job for him and give him the best experience possible & I would like to have the choice if we move or not. ( I probably would choose to stay home) but to have the choice would make moving easier I think. Although If we do move for this job he interviewed for I have herd that there is a GREAT hamburger place there. ;) (thanks april). I have slowly come to terms with reality that I may have to move, but the more I think about it the more I am Ok with the possibility I guess will see how good I really feel when it happens.

well my stress about Justin applying for jobs out of state has been for good reason..... He called me from school Thursday and said that next Friday he has an interview with a company out in California (they are coming to campus to do interviews) ..... I know I know it's just an Interview.......... but still! Maybe it's a good thing, maybe if they offer him a job he can use it to do some bargaining with ATK. Who knows. Some things I'm ok with not knowing what the future will hold, but this is my Family, this is MY LIFE... and not knowing for sure where I will be 7 months .....that's very unsettling. SO I'm trying my very best to have a good attitude and just prepare the best I can for the UNKNOWN. I looked up the city that this company is in and the 1st website said EPODUNK! well that sounds about like where we are living now maybe this place wouldn't be so bad..... UMMMM then I got to looking and No public school in that specific town (must really be PODUNK) but there is some in the county so I started looking into housing and the cost of living.. a 3 bed 2 bath......$400,000............WHAT!!!! and it's not even new homes!! so after that I stopped looking and thought it's just an INTERVIEW. I did think about it and I guess nobody knows REALLY what the future will hold because life can change in an instant, but still I can't even plan for anything because EVERYTHING is uncertain... Maybe I better wait til he starts considering job offers before I start researching places my family could be moving to..... I need to find something to be obsessive about to keep my mind off of the unknown and to make me feel like i am somewhat in control , cause right now everything seems to be uncontrollable and I like to have a bit of control.
On another note, we got some carpet laid last Saturday in our living room and it was used but some people Jan knows were just going to throw it out and it was in much better shape then the carpet I had and only 2yrs old, and I LOVE IT!!! I wasn't so sure about the color but I painted my walls and then after the carpet was in the whole room I really liked it. :) So to me it's New carpet and I only had to pay to get it laid, what a great deal we got! I'm sure Craig will love to come lay carpet for us anytime becuase while he was laying our carpet our new neighbor across the street that I have no idea who she is.. Was out in the front yard kissing her sleep over friend which was also a girl... lets just say I'm glad my boys aren't old enough to notice things like that becuase that is one conversation i'm not sure i'm prepared to have. Although I am having to have that conversation with my very CURIOUS husband.... GOTTA LOVE MEN!! :)
I hope everyone had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN! we did! I will hopefully have pictures posted soon!
