He got it!

Pete just called and he said that they offered him the job, but for less than he was hoping for. Unfortunately, they don't count years of experience until after you've graduated with a bachelor's degree. So even though nothing changes, and he'd be doing the same job, they offered him less than he was expecting because two of his four years of experience were knocked off. However, he was still offered more than he's being paid now, plus he'll get a $4,000 bonus when he graduates in May, so that's a plus. Regardless, he's going to take it because there is lots of room for growth and he'll be paid more than he is now at Emcore. They have somewhere in the vicinity of 40,000 employees, so there is definitely wiggle room as far as promotions are concerned!

Well, they say that good things happen in threes. We got a new house, and Pete has a new job. Now I just need to get knocked up and all will be right with the universe!

Changing gears, I've decided that from now on out I will post a random thought, picture, video, what-have-you at the tail end of each post. It'll make things more interesting and keep you stimulated while reading about the mundane details of my and Pete's lives. So, for today's viewing pleasure will be a random video clip that is sure to make you smile. Enjoy!
