More info about Ryan's interview yesterday:
He applied for the internship hoping it would be a stepping stone into future employment while he worked on more education--they told him frankly it would not. It is only a one year assignment no more and no less. They can barely offer him more than what he makes now. He would be working full-time with NO benefits. Not so great since he is the father of three, and we will have a newborn. We make it okay in Cedar, but with the cost of living increase in the Wasatch valley, there is no way we could financially survive.
All in all, the conclusion is: even if they offered him the job, there are little benefits outside of getting to hang out on Temple Square. Our whole goal is to get him in a better situation so he can be the best provider and use his skills and interests. Unless something striking happens, we will be moving to Logan after Christmas.
Holy stress-o-mighty. No wonder I'm not having this baby :)
I have no appetite. Eating makes me sick. So, this morning I resorted back to drinking smoothies (the only thing I could keep down at the beginning of this pregnancy). Truly, I am so preoccupied with this up and coming move, I keep forgetting how desperate I am to have this child. That's a blessing in disguise, I'm sure.
Oh, how I can sympathize! We just have to have faith that the right thing will come along at the right time, for the right money, huh? :)
ReplyDeleteWe have to do something about this. My pulse increases and my palms sweat when I read your blog. What can I do for you?
