The Winds of Change

So this is an update to my previous post stating that Mike had an interview with Dreyers. A couple of weeks ago Mike had a 2nd interview with Dreyers ice cream which is owned by the Nestle company. This second interview was with the person who would be Mike's potential boss. She told him that he was their first choice for the position, but that they needed someone as soon as possible. After talking with his Professor Mike realized that he would be able to finish his research by the end of September and would be available to start work the beginning of October. Along with working he would also be finishing up his Thesis and would have to come back to Ohio to "defend". The lady from Dreyers thought this plan might work out for them as well and so this Tuesday Mike is flying out to Bakersfield, California in order to have an on site interview with the team he would be working with as well as all the head honchos. It has been a crazy past couple of weeks with the prospect of getting ready to possibly move in a month. AAAAAHHHH California is definitely a lot closer to home than Ohio, but I will sure miss how beautiful it is out here. We have really enjoyed living in Columbus. So now we just have to wait and see if Mike gets an offer. I hope it will be sooner than later if I need to pack and prepare. There are a lot of decisions for us to make right now regarding whether or not to take this job if offered, whether or not to buy a house or continue to rent, etc. We feel fortunate to have this opportunity, and hope that things will work out. Oh, boy please keep us in your prayers. Thanks
