My First Post!

Okay, so my friend at work, Sally, has a crazy life like me, and her blog is quite entertaining. It really is a good way to update everyone on the craziness, when you don't have time to sit and write/call/text everyone. Plus if you don't really give a crap about what I have to say, you don't have to read it! So, I thought I would copy her and you can have a place to come see what is going on in my life, my home, and my head -- its pretty much all a jumble of craziness!

So to start off, I figured I would update you with the house/move situation. The house will officially be on the MLS on Monday, the 23rd of June, with our first open house on June 29th. I got the OK from work to transfer to the Cary, North Carolina office mid-August. School starts down there on the 20th of August, so we would love to be there in time for that. BUT -- a new wrinkle in the plans. I have been trying for about a year now to get a job with the FAA, becoming an Air Traffic Controller. It's something I have always been interested in, but I figured I wouldn't be chosen. So, I applied, expecting nothing to happen -- and it didn't -- for 6 months! Then they had me take the AT-SAT employment test. It was 8 hours, and really alot harder than I thought! I left the test for sure thinking I failed! But, 2 weeks later, I got my score -- 90! Passing, and even scoring above average! Waiting and Waiting has made me constantly think I would never hear anything again, then I found out I was on the top of the recommendation list! Just yesterday, I found out that I have been scheduled for the drug test, security clearance, and mental evaluation. If I get through all that, I will be offered a position, and the dates for training. Training would be about 2 months in Oklahoma, and I hope to get a position in Charlotte, NC. But, I will take whatever they give me -- I really want to move and be with my sister and mom in Charlotte, but I can't give up this opportunity -- and I know that once I get my foot in the door, I can wow them and get a transfer to Charlotte very soon -- so please all keep your fingers crossed for me! Right now we need to just sell the house, and figure out what life will have in store for us... its complete chaos, but its an adventure, and my little family can get through anything. "We may not have it all together, but together, we have it all!"

2nd note of business -- Happy Birthday to the twins! They turn 2 today!! I can't believe how fast it went by!

Thanks to everyone for your love and support -- I will try to update everyone as much as I can!
