Job Hunting is Over!

Larry was offered 5 jobs! What a stud! We feel very blessed. He accepted an offer with Southwest Research Institute by mid October. He had spent most of the begining of October interviewing all over the United States. We talked about that it was a shame that we had not taken a vacation. We had the time off and with the lay-off package we even had the money, but we were too busy and responsible to go on one. Well as soon as we made our decision I started finalizing plans. We called family and friends that day and asked, "Hey, what are you doing this ______ (friday, Wednesday, etc... )" And, they were all gacious enough to open thier calenders and homes to us. It was a ton of fun! We started out on Friday, October 29th and drove about 9 hours to Charollette, N.C. Where we met up with our good Friends Brandon and Tiffany Larsen ang thier family at thier ward Trunk-or-treat. We pulled up just in time to trunk-or-treat :) but not in time to get out our camera :(. We stayed the night at the Larsens and left Saturday to drive accross Charrollette to meet up with Uncle Alan, Aunt Cindy and family. We had a great time hanging out with them all day and went to thier ward Trunk-or-treat that night. The kids had a blast and LOVED the fact that they got two Halloweens worth of candy! We stayed the night with Alan and Cindy. After catching the earliest sacrament meeting, we drove to Washington DC (a six our drive).
