A Fresh Start

Our life is changing a lot these days... 

Andrew finished school at the end of October and passed his boards in November on the first try.  He is in the process of job searching which is proving to be more challenging that we had anticipated.  We were under the impression (had been told) that there were 4 jobs for every 1 new grad.  Well, it turns out those jobs, while they are there, are requesting experience as a PA.  There had to be a catch, right? 

Yesterday, Andrew received an offer from Franklin Square Hospital.  This is the very first offer and it is offering a decent amount of money.  The only problem is that it is nights and there is another job on the horizon that he really wants - at a prison in Baltimore.  That job pays better, is evenings, and is more interesting for him.  They told him they are very interested in him and that, from his resumé, he is exactly what they are looking for.  Now the only trick is going to get them to expedite so he can give Franklin Square an answer. 


I hope to keep everyone posted about our life changes.  There's a lot going on and I feel like I need to make sure to keep everyone in the loop.
