Final Update

And this will mean I have to find something better to blog about than Nick's new job options.

he accepted the job!!
HR is in the process of drawing up the contract, and he will officially start work on August 3rd. he is going to put in his 2 weeks notice at the last minute because they will probably fire him that day. Even though he could just not show up on the 3rd and say that due to employment at will he is no longer willing to work there for a cheap price. So far the agreement that he accepted is for 53,ooo which is a raise from where he is right now, and we will be able to afford a good place as soon as we get to NY. He did mention that there was a suite open in the Mohawk dorms that he would like to have written into the contract for three months or so. Tony from HR thought is was amusing that he knew that it was available and was using it as part of a bargaining chip. It seems like Nick has the upper hand because there are so many people willing to bend steel to get him into the job.

I am officially beyond excited. I have already packed half of my clothes in preparation. When we go back in two weeks, I am renewing my permit, and scheduling a road test. NY has an easier road test so I should pass on the first attempt. I am happy and ready to go.

Yesterday was fun though, as we spent the entire day at a birthday party for his twin cousins. There was a lot of wine drinking, and card playing, and I only wish the day would have lasted longer. I have a feeling Nick's family cheated the whole time we were playing to get me to lose, but I still won. It was a great day, and I didn't have to change a single diaper! The kids had so much fun, but they were exhausted by the end of the night, and cried only a little before falling asleep. The best part of the day though was when Kristina talked to me. People were looking at me funny because I was talking to a toddler and she was talking back. She doesn't know a lot, but I understand her jumbled sentences enough to know what the jist of it is. She even said "bless you jess" when I sneezed and made people laugh. It was a very good stress free day!

Nick's mother came too, so there was a "mother" there for me. I couldn't get ahold of mine all day though. I think it was because she was sitting by the pond drinking tea and missing me as much as I was missing her. I hope she enjoyed my three messages on the answering machine though, I was kind of annoying. I have to be though, it would not be Mother's day if I didn't pester her a bit before telling her I miss her and love her.
