As the semester progresses Michael is getting more and more excited about graduation! He is also in career search mode. While we don't know this for certain, and we haven't gotten specific details yet we do think that we will be staying in the Lafayette area. Michael's job at Starr & Associates is going incredibly well. The job is a good fit for Michael-- he likes the work, and the people.
The upsides
-He really enjoys what he is doing
-We already have friends in the area
-We are only 3 hours from home, which is good compared to living in Iowa or Texas
-I would be able to finish my schooling at Purdue
The downsides
-We are STILL 3 hours from home
-It is frigid here in the winter
-Michael will have to train for 4 years to get his surveying license
We still don't know what God's plan for Michael's career is, but we are sure that it will work out. For now we are fairly sure that this is where we will be for the next 4 years. We are looking at larger apartments and townhomes today. We entertained the idea of purchasing a house, but don't want to rush into it, so we will wait awhile.
Here are our main criteria we are looking for in our next apartment:
-2 bedrooms
-1.5 to 2 baths
-Washer & dryer hookup or w & d included in apt.
-DISHWASHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Cat friendly (I hope to have a kitty by September at the latest)
-Away from campus traffic!
Today we are merely driving by apartments to see if we like them from the outside, and to get a feel for the general location of them.
