DH got the offer!

[HoneySpider]

DH called, he FINALLY got the offer from the job in DC, 8 weeks after his last interview! 

It's about what we expected which is to say it's on the low end for being HCOL but probably doable. I have to crunch the numbers again tonight.

I think, looking beyond just money, it would be a good opportunity for both of us in several ways. I'm 95% sure he's going to take this job. Eek! Crazy to think things might finally be happening....

Ahhh! This is so so awesome! Congrats to both you and your DH! hooray for things falling into place!

Yayaya!!!!

I'm so sad we already moved away, but so happy for you!! Let me know if you have any questions when crunching the numbers.

My question is, how can we make stuff be cheaper, lol. Especially rent. I think we're just going to have to be conservative with the type of place we live in and know it's not forever. I think some of our stuff will be staying with my parents.

What wonderful news...congrats to you both!

This is AWESOME news!!!! Go Mr. HS!!!! 

[ewall]

Wooohooo!

Congrats! Will he be working in DC or within the MD/DC/NOVA beltway/tri area? While the HCOL can be daunting, it's definitely doable. Let me know if you need any recommendations for places to look/live when you get out here. I'm biased, but it really is a great place to be. Tons to do, plenty to see, great restaurants, you can't go wrong.     Traffic blows though so hopefully you guys can find somewhere where it isn't to much of a commute.

He will be working in DC but we will be living in either MD or VA, not sure...we are looking at a few different neighborhoods and won't make a decision until I get to visit and look at places.

Congrats! I grew up in northern VA, went to high school in MD, and one of my BFF's lives in DC. My parents are in Fairfax County, VA. I might be able to answer questions if you have them about the area. Glad you guys are finally getting closure on this!

[melsamoony]

HoneySpider I live in the DC area. Pm me if you have specific questions about areas because I have family that lives in many different parts of the DC area. It is definitely doable on a budget you just have to look hard and be willing to possibly commute. Let me know if you have questions about neighborhoods/towns. I am so excited for you guys

[HoneySpider]

Thanks everyone! Once I start seriously looking into rentals I'm sure I'll have questions.

[christy082]

That's awesome, congrats!!

[krystee]

Yessss!!!!!! I am so excited for you! Congrats to Mr. HoneySpider!!

[mac08]

What awesome news, that will be so exciting to explore and live in a new place as fun as DC! Things are really looking up for you guys!  

[HoneySpider]

Oh, and did I mention? Our new health insurance will be much more expensive than what we are used to but IT HAS INFERTILITY COVERAGE!!!  <) That is huge for us!

If all goes well with DH in the next few months, I am hoping to really get going on the TTC front come 2015. 

[travelbug]

HoneySpider That's such an awesome thing! What great insurance!

HUGE Awesome news about the medical coverage HoneySpider Things sure are looking up!!!!!!

[awick14]

Omg, I am so happy for you I really am tearing up. I was so excited then I saw the fertility coverage and that put me over the edge!!!

[D2M]

I haven't been on here in a while but I am sooooo happy I checked in today. Great news, HS! My H and I lived in DC for three years when he went to school and really loved it. Although rent etc may be more $$, there are so many awesome free things to do in DC. And it's so close to home for you. You'll never have the expense of plane tickets for holidays or just to visit fam. So that's one big plus, budget wise. Yay!

[spankswife]

So so so awesome!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to you both!!! You must be relieved!!! And yay for great insurance!!

[zarapipe]

awesome!!!!!!! So so happy for you!

[katiek]

YAY! Congrats! I'm so glad What a long road! You guys deserve this good news!
