I had really high hopes, that this year was going to be fantastic, since LAST year was so CRAPtastic.
Ugh, was I wrong. Jeff lost his job the end of January, and here it is, almost the middle of March. He has a couple of good prospects: One takes us to Florida; the other to Iowa. I-O-W-A!
I never saw myself living in Iowa, but what the heck...I never saw myself in California or New York either. I was excited about the Florida one. The weather--endless summer--is very exciting. But the more we talked about the one in Iowa, the better it sounded. The job pays less, but the place sounds really nice. Cost of living is much lower than here or Cali so we could actually afford a house in a year.
Ultimately, Jeff has to pick the job that's the best for him. I just want it done already. The waiting is torture.

Horrible Earthquake/Tsunami in Japan today. I'll be praying for those poor poeple. It's so sad.

I'm 180 pages into my first manuscript. Still a ton of work to do on it. The stuff with Jeff's job had kind of frozen any creativity I had in me, but I think I could actually get back to it now. I had originally hoped to have it done by June, but no way. Maybe the end of the year...?
