After a whirlwind of a couple of months, Mark and I will be official residents of the state of Iowa again on April 25th! We both started exploring career opportunities just to in my words “make some contacts and see what was out there.” To our surprise we received some pretty promising leads early on and realized that we could quickly turn our goal/dreams into reality. We decided to put our house on the market on March 2nd for sale by owner and sold it exactly 36 hours later after a bidding war. We had a much deserved “Oh Crap” moment when we realized we just sold our house and we had no jobs and nowhere to move to. We quickly accelerated our discussions with our prospective employers and we both received written offer letters 2 days apart. Wow, the Lord works in mysterious ways! We found a house a few days later in Ankeny and get to call it home on April 25th. After putting in my resignation at Commerce Bank, they decided they wanted to try and make something work for me to stay on with them and work from Des Moines. I am super excited to represent Commerce in the state of Iowa. Mark will go to work as a bridge engineer for CH2M Hill.
We will miss our friends in Kansas City but could not be more excited and anxious to get back to the Cyclone state!!
