Ugghhh, have I mentioned this is hard?

Thank you everyone for posting - I'm doing my best to remain grounded. It's not easy, but I am trying my best to remain calm and not smother any positive signs I see. I'm trying to keep my expectations low and trying not to mind read, but I think I'm going to need a few more activities to keep my mind from wandering into that danger zone

Got some good news yesterday - I got offered the job I interviewed for! I texted my wife and she came home early with some nice wine to celebrate. I was absolutely buzzing with excitement so I'm not sure how well I remained detached last night (I did a lot more hugging then I meant to), but I promise I'll get back to db'ing tonight.

I can't begin to say how excited I am about this job. I'll leave out the details, but it really feels like this is a job I was born to do. And it's not tied to any particular location so I don't have to worry about my wife moving away with the kids - they can't escape me now, haha!
