We're getting North Carolina license plates!

Travis met a guy who worked for Rubbermaid this past summer while playing on a rec. basketball team. Travis casually mentioned to him one day that his goal is to work in marketing instead of sales (which is what he's doing now). The guy who works for Rubbermaid suggested Travis apply for one of the marketing positions that were opening up at Rubbermaid in Atlanta. He did, and soon found out that he wasn't selected for an interview.

When Travis was applying for the position he had me read over the description of the job. When I read the job description my first thought was, "wow, that is exactly what Travis has always wanted to do. This is what he has a love and talent for!" So we were pretty disappointed when he didn't even get a chance to interview.

A few days later we were talking about how awesome of a job that would have been for Travis. Travis got back on the website to check for more openings. There were no openings in Atlanta but there was one in Charlotte, North Carolina. I think we both figured it was a long shot, but Travis decided to apply anyway to see if he could at least get an interview.

He ended up getting more than just one interview :) After two phone interviews and one 4 hour interview at the office in Charlotte, Travis officially received a job offer Friday afternoon!!! We are so excited!! Travis is pretty much bouncing off the walls :)

They want Travis to start mid December so the next few weeks will be a little crazy around here trying to get our things packed and ready to go. We're still discussing details of exactly how to make the transition (do we try to sell our home? Rent it out? Do Sydney and I stay here temporarily?) but it's official....We're moving!

And yes, my head is spinning. I feel totally overwhelmed trying to sort out these details while pregnant (my brain is NOT the same when I'm pregnant. I feel like my brain functions at half my normal capacity. Boo.) So we're taking it one day at a time :)

Travis' take:

Hey to all you blogstockers out there; we're happy you decided to look us up. Waiting to hear back from Rubbermaid has been one of the most STRESSFUL experiences of my life (just ask Linz :) I've felt many emotions ranging from confidence to hopelessness and Linz was steady through it all (at least outwardly she was. Haha)

With each day that passed the window of opportunity seemed to be closing and then Friday at 5:30 I got a call and the job!

I'm excited about this new position in marketing and can't wait to get acclimated to Charlotte and find a way to sell our home in Atlanta.

Lindsay is officially excited/nervous/stressed and probably a few other things she's not telling me - HA!

Lindsay has been an amazing support while I've been searching/applying/interviewing etc. The past two weeks she has worked so hard to help me stay positive and moving in the right direction all while Sydney has been disgruntled because our "family time" has taken a hit. Sydney loves attention and is at her best when she has quality time with those she loves (me! jk, she likes her momma more than me).

THE END - T$
