Farewell Michigan

Over a year ago we signed a contract with one of the local hospitals. They offered us a sign on bonus if Brett would commit to work for them for the next 2 years. Brett will be graduating this August and then we were going to stay another 2 years working. There was a couple of times in the past year that we debated leaving and going to work somewhere closer to home, but we didn't feel right about backing out of our contract. We had become comfortable with the idea of staying for a few years since we had a home, friends, and a life out here in Michigan. About 2 weeks ago we heard that the hospital was going to hold interviews for their job openings. Bretts job was one of the jobs they were hiring for. On Monday we found out that they ended up hiring another person from Brett's program to take Brett's job.
When we first found out we were really irritated. I think I was more upset about how he lost his job than that he lost his job. By the end of the evening we were both starting to feel okay about the situation. We know that things will work out the way they are supposed to, and we've decided that maybe Michigan isn't were we are supposed to be. Brett has been applying for other jobs, most of which are in Washington and Montana. We have another 4 months before Brett graduates to find another job, and to hopefully sell our house. We are a little nervous about how we are going to sell our house that fast. We will keep you all updated on when and where we are going. Keep us in your prayers.
