So, I thought I would update people with our plans while I am sitting here waiting for my pumpkin cookies to bake. I sure hope they turn out because I am tired of everything I bake not turning out. Plus they are for the Alpha group at church, so they better...
Anyways, we are really bad at making life decisions - which is no news to anyone I am sure.
We really were debating on staying here, because even though it would be hard financially, this is where we feel at home. We love the seasons, we love the people, we love the area. We know how to make things work on a tight budget because that is the way we have been living for 7 years, so nothing would change and we would go on. Were happy now, so why not?
Magnus got offered the job in Kelowna, but to our surprise they gave him the accepting package and the wage was a lot lower then what we had thought. We had thought that they would over us at least $35000. a year, but we were thinking it would be more like $38000. But to our surprise they offered him $33000. a year. I was furious and said some choice words to them in my head and told Magnus no way! I will not go to work full time and put Mika in day care just so we could live here. I always said that I would never put finances before happiness, but sometimes you have to make a decision that is best for family, and so right now it seems like Oregon is our best bet. Of course this could change in the next day or hour, but I feel a peace about this and so we shall see. Magnus will go and talk to them, but I really doubt they will budge. So that is my notes for today, but we will keep you posted as progress continues.

yes - forget it - it sounds like you are good at making decisions! You guys will be happy in Oregon. Don't forget, it isn't forever and you will be mobile in a few years. You can't stay in Kelowna without me anyway ;)
