He has worked his ASS off in a really, really tough industry for many years. It's a small industry filled with nepotism and so despite his hard work and the amazing reputation he has built for himself, he keeps getting passed up for certain coveted positions, which 90% of the time go to friends or family members of the management/ownership. It's been a long and sometimes disheartening journey but he's stuck with it.
He interviewed out of state for his dream job (well, really one huge step closer to his dream job) and he got the offer on the spot! When he called me from the airport last night to tell me the news, he was getting choked up. I'm so happy he is finally getting the recognition he has long deserved. And the best part is that while the organization he is working for is out of state (Florida), he gets to stay here in Boston. Of course, he's now a nervous wreck waiting for the contract to be sent to him and worrying that they changed their mind in the 12 hours since they offered him the job, lol.
I'm sure he will, he's apparently feeling very generous because he told me not to allow my sister to help pay for our hotel this weekend in New York. Although Ellie herself is GROUNDED from the pet bakery due to poor behavior there.

Ok, I started reading this thinking Lila was talking about her Ellie, lol.
Lila's Ellie is much better behaved and deserving of treats than mine.

Congratulations!
And yay that you get to stay in Boston!
Having lived in both Florida and Massachusetts, I can say say with utter confidence that with the exception of the month of February, you are living in the preferable state.
