Dh has been offered a job which would result in him, FINALLY!, working close to home in a few months! It does involve a significant pay cut. He is really agonizing over this. We have prayed, and he has worked, so long for him to get closer to home. I told him that I would find a way to make the finances work, but he is unsure.
Please pray as we work through this! Thanks!

Praying, Molly! Big decisions like that can really rob us of our peace while we're discerning-- so I'll pray that you and your husband are wrapped in peace as you make your decision.

Well, congratulations are certainly in order for him! I pray that whatever the Lord leads to you, that you know in your hearts that it is the right path for your family.

Praying for ya, Molly! Have y'all looked at just ow much you'll save in a shorter commute ... gas, time, wear-tear on the car, etc? It's amazing how much all that adds up to. Maybe it's not such a significant pay-cut!
Prayers and hugs and more prayers ...

Mr. Spreadsheet has been at the white board all evening!  We are tossing around all kinds of numbers. He will start in Crystal City, so decrease in commuting costs to start with won't be great. The government office that he would be joining will be moving down this way sometime in 2010, which could mean anything. 
It's things like health insurance, 401K, and the fact that he would be starting the position at the top of the pay-grade, thus unable to get a raise without a promotion, that are giving him pause. He has great benefits right now. But what greater benefit is there than time?
So much to consider...
