"He would get these far off looks in his eye and say, 'Life doesn't always turn out the way you plan.' I didn't realize at the time he was talking about my life."
(Anyone remember this movie?!)If you had told me even 6 months ago we would become permanent residence of The Big D I would've called you crazy! As of Monday morning it became official. The contract is all signed and Micah will start working for The
Endodontic Group, Inc. on October 1, 2009. (I know the name is so catchy and creative!)
In December Micah had a few job leads in Arizona but as time went by nothing panned out. He decided to send his resume out here in Dallas just to see what would happen. Within a week he had several bites. Really who wouldn't be impressed with a resume listing things like "
summa cum
laude", "valedictorian" and countless others that actually had to be whittled down because the "awards and accomplishments" section was too long! Most impressive was the way The
Endo Group wooed Micah with invitations to their posh offices and expensive steak and seafood dinners. Finally they made an offer we just couldn't refuse.
Micah will start as an associate with the intent to buy in as a partner. Assuming all goes as planned we will be here for the long haul. Yes we are so sad not to move back to Arizona. In fact we don't even think of how much we and especially the kids will miss our families. We are just so thankful to have a job and always add on the thought that 5-10 years from now things could change....maybe...we'll see...who knows...
So to sum it up Micah will FINALLY attend his final graduation on September 30th and start work the next morning. Way to go babe! He will work 2 days a week in the Dallas office and 2 days in the Frisco office. Sometime this summer we'll move up that way and enjoy our first real paycheck in forever!
Micah I'm so proud of all your hard work to get us here and so excited you landed such a great job! Love you lots!
Micah had to go to the AAE meeting in Florida a few weeks ago so the kids and I headed to Arizona. Yep that's right me and 3 little kids on an airplane. As soon as we sat down the man across the isle quickly made a call on his cell phone and very loudly repeated over and over "There is a lady sitting by me with three kids. Two boys and a baby girl on her lap. She is alone with three kids!" I don't know if he was impressed or extremely nervous. I must say we managed very well and I might even attempt it again someday.
