Moving on!

Happy Day! Jody officially passed both summer classes and if all goes well will graduate in December! This has been a long time coming. When we first got married we came to McKinleyville to finish up school and move after two years. Well four years later, two kids, and too many odd jobs to list we are finally going to move on! When we first moved here the plan was for Jody to get his degree in business. Because he didn't have California residency yet he had to start at College of the Redwoods where he took a couple of business classes. After talking to our brother in law Matt who had decided to quit the whole "working for someone else" type of job and go to dental school, Jody decided to give it a try also. So he switched his major to Biology and began going to Humboldt. After his first attempt at the DAT and applying to 10 or so schools and not getting in, he decided to drop the dental school thing and look for something else. Meanwhile he was approached by a guy in our ward to become a real estate agent and work for him. Jody jumped on the chance to quit working at my dad's mill and make some real money. So within a few months he was a licensed agent. It has been a great job for Jody except that it has slowed down his progression in finishing school. We love the paychecks we get when a home closes but the stress of not knowing how much you will make each month and having deals fall through days before you are going to get paid isn't worth it. So Jody has jumped back into school full time and will now finish. Our plan has changed many times. But for now he hopes to get a job as a pharmaceutical sales rep and move near relatives in Seattle, Georgia, or Denver. But we have to take what we can get and hope that we will be able to move up. I just want to live near someone. I can't imagine leaving my parents alone in Humboldt County but hopefully they won't be far behind!
