One piece of the puzzle solved

There are so many unknowns right now. I keep telling people I just want 1 piece of the puzzle put into place:
* When can Ken take the board exam?
* Where will Ken work?
* When will we move?
* Where will we live - an apartment or house?
* Which city will we live in?
* How will we get where we're going - hire a moving company or do it ourselves?

Yesterday we got one piece answered: Ken got a job! Yeah!!! He accepted a position at St. Peter's Hospital in Olympia, WA, as an Outpatient Neuro Physical Therapist. Wahoo! We're super excited as this was our top choice.

We still don't know when WA is going to give Ken approval to take the board exam, which determines when he can start working, and when we can move . . . so we're still waiting for those pieces.

In the meantime, we've started seriously looking at our housing options in and around Olympia, so hopefully we'll have the housing piece figured out soon. And because the company pays for relocation, complete with a "relocation coach" to help us make all of the arrangements, the moving piece may be figured out soon too.

We're thinking that by Christmas we'll have the puzzle all put together . . . . just in time for the new year and a new puzzle ;)
