DECISION!

Well this has been a very stressful time for us! It has come time to make a decision about where Blayne is going to work and where we are going to live for the next couple years. He received offers from Deloitte in Portland, KPMG in Sacramento and Kernutt Stokes Brandt & Co. in Eugene. We have been talking ourselves in circles about where we should go (mainly between Eugene and Sacramento) and what would be best for our family. We had been leaning toward Sacramento for awhile, but Blayne started to think about the firm in Eugene again and spoke with a friend who works at Kernutt Stokes Brandt & Co. (thank you Julian) who had some really good points about the firm. Well, to make a long story short, we stayed up past 2:00 a.m. talking about where we felt we should go. We prayed about it and went to bed. We woke up this morning and both felt that we should go to Sacramento. We still hope to come back to Eugene sometime in the future, but for some reason, we feel as though we should go to KPMG right now.

California Here We Come!

Ummmmmmmmmm I guess that's ok. I am glad that you know where you are going now. I am excited for you. You can just move back to Eugene in 2 years. I will be moving around the same time anyway. I miss you guys so much, but I will see you in 28 days. I can't wait.

WOW--congratulations!! I'm so glad you BOTH felt good about it. That's going to help you out later when you wish you hadn't gone there. :) J/K I'm sure it will be a GREAT experience! And I'm glad Blayne already knows he has a job once you're done with school. YEA!!

Congratulations! You're going to love Sacramento. I would suggest the Antelope area when you are looking for housing.

What a great opportunity! I happy for you both.

Wow I can't believe you are already to that point. It seems like you just got down to Ohio and you are already having job offers!
Congrats on the decision to go to California. You will like it and Sacramento is only about 8 hours from home. So you are getting closer :)
