This has been a real challenging month for both  leopardofalltrades and myself. My hubby lost his job around the end of September and has been diligently looking for another job. Only problem he seems to occuring is finding a place semi-closeby (i.e. under an hour's worth of driving to) and willingness to pay close to his old payrate. It's been pretty difficult so far. Next week he has a few interviews, including one that's located all the way out in Utah!

Honestly, with all the struggles we've had trying to make ends meet while living in California, the both of us are hoping that the job prospect in Utah will work out. If he can make around the same amount there as he does here we'll be doing so much better off. Housing in Ogden (the city where the company is located) is WAY cheaper than it is in California. Employment (retail) doesn't look too bad either, which is good for me as I've had absolutely shitty luck finding another job since the one I had working at OfficeMax over a year ago.

But, if life has taught us anything, it's to not put all your eggs in one basket. There is always a chance that even if he does get the job, the relocation assistance they offer may not be enough to help us move out there. Or of course, since he's compeating with other applicants, someone might be selected over him.

In the meantime, trying to find work locally is all on the hubby's mind. Hopefully he'll find find a job before the end of the month as money is slowly becoming an issue. We have just enough to pay for next month's rent, but after that.. not much, if at all.

Any time you feel like giving us a break, life, it'd be awesome.
