Where to from here?

Many of you have asked where we are headed to after Owen finishes his residency in June. Well....we don't know, so stop asking! The rundown is that Owen has had some job offers, but if you know us well, you know that we are very indecisive people. Ok, more picky than anything. We are just looking for the "perfect" place to raise our family, with the "perfect" job. Originally we were going to take the job in Eugene Oregon. Feeling really excited about our decision to take the job in Eugene, we had another offer in Paso Robles California--central coastal. Absolutely beautiful wine country, and close to a lot of our family. Not to mention the fabulous weather and living so close to the beach ! We decided to turn down the offer in Eugene, and take the job in Paso. Honestly, I just don't think I could handle 6 months of rain and grey. That was on a Thursday, and on Friday he talked to the guy in Paso, and he ended up hiring someone else. His associate up and quit, and had to hire someone quick. So, needless to say, it sucks for us. But, we are looking at it as that it wasn't the right decision. On Monday, Denver called him, and told him to come out again. Maybe that's what we'll end up doing. So...I'm sure you'll all hear soon enough! Believe me, I wish I knew. This is such a stressful decision, I want it to all be over.

Oh, I'm right there with ya! I think we are the same way - picky. Our CA opportunity fell through too... it's frustrating huh? I was just starting to feel really excited about it. It's back to doing more interviews for us too. It's comforting to see we aren't the only ones dealing with this! I'm not ready to grow up and make these big decisions!!

Good luck. It is such a hard decision. I am sorry to hear about all the things that have happened to your family up in AT. I am starting to feel the pressure of where to go next. It is not a fun feeling.
