Finally, our job update!

After much patience and prayers, we have landed a more permanent job! We will be staying here in Atlanta for a time while Ron works as a clinical professor at Georgia State University. He will not be on a tenure track but will be teaching more than a tenure track professor would while still doing research. He has a great network of managerial accounting professors here to do research with so he hopes to get published papers while working here. With more experience he may be able to get a job closer to our family. Ron knows the guy who got the UVU job and also knows this guy was a good choice with more experience. We have really grown to like it here and we are very grateful to have a job that will be good for Ron's career. We had hoped to move closer to family but at least we like Atlanta enough to make it a more permanent home. Plus, the winters are great! Now we can move on and look for houses! Wahoo!

I was just thinking about you guys last night and wondering what you had decided to do. I'm glad you had a new post this morning!
That is great that you like it in Atlanta and now you know you will be there for awhile! Now we need to plan a vacation with you guys - Disney World anyone?
Have fun house hunting. We just started going out with a realtor last week and I am really not looking forward to finding the right house! Such a pain and lots of money needed for the down, etc. I hope you have more fun buying a house than I think I am going to have!

Glad you guys have a more permanent job. That's gotta be a nice feeling. Atlanta winters sounds pretty nice right now. Enjoy the house hunting. :)

I am so happy that you are finally settling down. I thought I had commented on your post, but then realized that I hadn't. Hope you guys find a great house, and maybe we'll visit you one of these days.
