Hi all!! Its been a while! Life got busy and I never took the time to update you on what we were doing, so Ill try to recap what we have been up to over the last 2+ months; lots has been going on...
Reilly was laid off in the middle of May, the company laid off a large group of people and he was one of them. It was a shock at first and a little concern once reality set in. We both have been so lucky to have had good steady jobs through these times and all the sudden wham, one of us looses our jobs, just like so many other people. I guess we are human too! I do have to say after being concerned and shocked at the fact that we have one income for some time, I really had no concern. Reilly is maybe the most well networked hard working person I know. As soon as he was laid off he was setting up meetings and getting phone calls from people who wanted him to come work for them!! This was all great news and relieving to know he wont be with out a job for long.
Reilly had a trip to the Bahama's planned with his dad and uncle and a few more guys. He was scheduled to leave the friday of the week he was laid off, so we agreed he might as well, enjoy a couple days off and go and enjoy the amazing vacation he planned in the Bahama's. It was a big fishing trip for him and the boys! (which is why I didn't go). They had an amazing time - I will post some picks soon.
Once Reilly got back from the Bahamas it was back to finding a job. He took his time to assure he found the right job and company for him. Well he found it, the company is located in Palo Alto, CA. (outside of San Francisco) The company is called EchoSign. He had actually talked to them a about a year or so ago when he was looking at other opportunities. At that time they wanted him to move down there and the timing just wasn't right for us. Well this time, he is able to work from Seattle! So after thinking it through he took the job with EchoSign!!
We spent 4th of July weekend converting one of our extra bedrooms into an office, so he would have a dedicated space for him to focus and work all day! He is doing great and is loving it!!!
