Well, we've only lived in our house for 2 years, but we are not going to move for the heck of it! Simply put, the bad economy is forcing us to look elsewhere.

I attended a teacher job fair yesterday with 600 people. ALL of them were certified teachers, which means they spent at least 5 years in college. Guess what? All the local districts showed up, and none of them interviewed (except for a small number of candidates who had high-need certifications). They redirected everyone to their websites to apply (for jobs they don't have)! There were several people I met who had come from out of state to attend, luckily I only had to drive 30 minutes....

My husband had an interview this weekend in Memphis that would allow him to make significantly more money (which means I could continue to stay home with Lyra if I wanted to) and there is a good chance I can find employment there too.
