Big news, means big changes when it comes to the Rothmeelers. The news actually revolves around Drew. He got a job with Amazon as an Area Manager! We are both very excited about this opportunity as it came out of the blue. He actually applied last year when he returned from Iraq. The company didn't have any opportunities available so we forgot about it and he decided to get his real estate license. Last month a recruiter for Amazon called and asked if he was still interested and would want to interview. Using it as a learning/practice experience he said yes, why not. He interviewed and a couple of days later he was offered a job. The company offers great benefits, pay, and above all, they know he is in the military and may need time off here and there for drill. Let me tell you, that is HARD to come by these days. That was one of the things that was nice about Drew being his own boss and making his own schedule.
Another unique thing about the job is he works four 10 hour shifts a week, so he can continue to do real estate on the side.
There is one catch... the job isn't in town. However, considering what we've been through, it's totally doable - which is why we are excited. Drew and I have been through a lot, and through it all we've learned some important things about our relationship. We know how to communicate with each other and therefore we communicate very well. We trust each other and we support each other. We're also very comfortable on our own and have learned to be much more grateful of the time we share together. We also realize that we are young and it's important to take these types of chances or try these new things while it's just the two of us. We do see a family in our future and we want to be as financially prepared as possible. Why not have a little fun and live a little crazy right now :)
Oh yea, I should add, we/I am not moving :) Our new home will continue to be our permanent home.
