Chris and I are having an employment fair right in our kitchen. We're prepping several applications to mail out, trying to land a job for next year. So far he will be applying for jobs in:

-Memphis, TN
-North Manchester, IN
-Rochester, NY
-Saratoga Springs, NY
-Tampa, FL
-Sewanee, TN
-Hiram, OH
-Waco, TX
Garden City, NY

Wherever we end up, it looks like we will be driving across most of the country to get there. Of course, we're hoping somewhere close to our parents, which would be TN or FL. I'm not too keen on NY, although I have no reason for feeling that way. We'd be near my dad's parents if we lived up there. That would be cool, since they've never met my kids yet. Imagine, Chris and I have lived in every corner of the country except that one.

Wow...I don't know how he does it. This is going to be an awful suggestion...would it be okay to move back to AL or even FL - find a cheap apartment for a year, maybe you work for awhile and Chris stay home to write? You can swap places for a year. Then when he's done with the disseration and defense, you can go back to grad school and he can get a job. It'd give you work experience, money on the table and time for Chris to write. Plus AL and FL will be waaaay cheaper than most places.

Man alive....well, prayers for you both. I know God will provide a solution for you. *hugs*
