Every three years since we have been together we have had major changes. We were together for three years when we got married, bought our first home and I changed jobs. Three years later, Sam changed jobs, we sold our house and bought our current home, and shortly after had a baby. Is everyone seeing a pattern here?
We know that many people will think we are crazy and wonder what we are doing. But, in the Schlaich Way, big changes are coming to us once more. We have thought long and hard and have done research and more thinking over the past few months...I would even venture to say past year, about what our future holds and came to the following conclusions:
I recently accepted a position in Spokane schools as a principal assistant. This is confirmation that I am only a month away from graduating with my administrative certificate. My job situation could change but that is a step forward. So...new job - check.
Knowing that my loans will come due and I do not have a job lined up that pays on the administrative pay scale, along with the lack of safe feelings in our neighborhood, we have decided to sell our home. We love our house, and if we could transport it somewhere that we didn't have to call the police regularly for illegal activities, we would. David's safety is number one for us and this neighborhood has not turned out to be what it was supposed to be. We knew it was not our forever home so it's okay. The house is on the market and we are patiently waiting for it to sell. We have looked at a few houses (temporarily downsizing in order to achieve our five year plan/goal) and we are fairly happy with what we are seeing in the market (and shocked at the other half of the market we don't like!). Buy/sell house - check.
There is no number three right now and no number in the works. We are good with that. We are excited to see what the future holds and are proud of our decisions and in doing what is best for our little family, even when the path is not always the easiest. :)
