Happy News!

Dan got a job!!! I honestly couldn't be any happier! Here's how it went down..

Dan applied to Best Buy online and an hour after he finished, they called him to set up an interview for a manager position. The day finally came and he was told that all of the positions had just filled up, but there would probably be something better at a different location because of his degree. So Dan drives to the Best Buy in Deerfoot Meadows and meets the person he was supposed to see and was offered the job right then and there. He didn't even get interviewed! He looked at his resume and noticed that he graduated from U of L and turns out, that's where he had graduated from too! He was told that he could move up very fast in the company and pretty much expected him to in about 3 months or so. We won't get our hopes up, but until then, Dan is working at Best Buy as a Business Coordinator. The starting pay is just what we need especially for right now. He started today at 2:00pm to organize his working schedule and details. I'm so proud of him. We ever expected it to take this long for him to find a half decent job, but I'm sure glad he stuck it out long enough to find this one. We are excited about the potential it will give him and for the second income. This is the first time that both of us have had full time jobs at the same time. I think we'll like it. I can't wait to buy a house!
