A Google Story

Thursday, February 6, 2014

Yesterday we were finally able to announce that we will be moving to the bay area in just a few short weeks so I decided I may as well fill you all in on the blog!

Back in June my husband's team at work lost headcount and since he was the most junior member he was the one that had to be let go. He started looking at different options but luckily they found him a place on another team within the company. It had always been a big dream of Tim's to work at Google so he applied but nothing really happened so we kind of forgot about it. I started working at my dream job and things were going well.

Weeks later a friend of mine reached out and said that his team at Google was hiring and referred Tim to the position. After about 6 or 7 interviews he was offered the job. We were pretty stunned to be honest. We had just moved into a new apartment and had signed an 18 month lease, I had recently started a job I loved and Tim really enjoyed his current job. We prayed and prayed and asked for answers and we were able to figure out what was best for our little family of two. This was an amazing opportunity for us and something we just couldn't turn down so Tim accepted.

As of now we have no idea where we are going to be living and neither one of us have ever been to this particular area but we feel so good about it and couldn't be more excited. We will be headed down in about 3 weeks and hopefully we can find an apartment quickly! I couldn't be more proud of my husband for achieving a goal he once thought wasn't very realistic. It goes to show that hard work pays off!
