Just a Spinnin'

Yes, yes, our heads, our world, our everything is just spinning! Decisions and anticipation and all this crazy emotion - I am so ready for some status quo (whatever that has come to mean).
Jake's interview went really, really well. So well, in fact, they want to make an offer. However, they are wanting all this info. from us as to what it will take for us to say yes, before they present it. I laugh, thinking, um, buy me a house, sell this house, pay him $200k a year, 5weeks of vacation a year, I could go on and on. What a ridiculous question.

We are in the midst of some negotiations, that are kind of one sided, meaning we don't even know what all they are willing to offer. I guess you can say if it comes close to what we have "fairly and justly" decided is what we want, we will take it. We are certain the company provides a great CAREER opportunity for Jake with room to move around and very stable, etc. etc.

Did I mention we are having a baby too? Oh! And Anna had a 101.5 fever all day yesterday. Today we are just at 100. Oye Vei, seriously throw me a bone!

This is all good stuff, don't get me wrong, having an opportunity so soon, and having a new baby it is just that every THING is so big...and good or not, some times BIG things are hard to handle.

Seeing as it is almost noon and I have spent give or take the last 4hours on the phone with all sorts of people, from recruiter, to mom (my #1advisor) to Jake and a friend from college (random phone call) etc. etc. I do need a shower and I have a headache and well, I just need to breathe!

So, here is my list:

1. No baby while Jake was gone!

2. This opportunity that deep in our hearts we know God put together

3. Anna feeling a tad better today, now if she would just eat

4. Cool weather, like 60 something right now. LOVE IT

5. It is Friday, which means Jake will be home with me for at least the next 4 days, seeing as we are having a baby and all on Monday.

6. Sarah C's phone call yesterday (okay okay, I admit I am sooooo excited at the thought of living close to her and hanging out that I can't stand it). Bad news is I can't take Amy with me.

7. My mom will be here in 48hrs - relief, sweet relief. Wait, that means 72hrs or so until Bo is here. Are we down to hours now? AGHHH!

8. My minlaw taking me to lunch yesterday, it was so good.

9. Getting my haircut - considering it now a splurge b/c of our situation. I needed it so bad and if I can get to the shower today and dry it and style it we will really be happy!
