Things are getting serious, folks.

See this map?

All of the states in grey are where there are currently job postings in Dusitn's field.

This means that by next summer, we could be living in any of these places. We made a list of places that are top on our list (Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Pennsylvania) and those that are at the bottom (California and Texas). The problem is, it doesn't really matter where we want to go; it only matters where he gets a job offer.  We have ruled out going overseas for jobs, but Canada is an option. (Get your passports ready!)

Dustin tells me that many more jobs will open up still this year. Thankfully, this is a great year for job offers. I'll update the map when more jobs open up in different states.

So, basically, we are entering the final stages of our time up here in Michigan. Dustin is actually applying for a job today -- the first one of the process. He goes to a conference in three weeks where he could even be interviewing. More than likely, we'll know where we're going by December/January. Six-ish months after that, we'll be moving.

This is your worst blog post yet. I refuse to talk about it. Unless you're moving to Indiana. Or eastern PA. Or Hilliard.

Mass. would be nice. You'll be rich enough to buy my plane tickets every other weekend. It would be so pretty. I'd be jealous. OR i could find a job out there and move out there. That way i wouldn't be jealous. Tennessee would be nice. Country. You could have some land and a white picket fence. Anywhere further than Tennessee is a no go for me... too hot. New Jersey wouldn't be too bad. Penn is nice.. cost of living is expensive. Indiana/ Illinois might be okay. I feel like they're just like Ohio only longer. Ohio would be nice. Just keep in mind the further you go the more expensive plane tickets are. You might just want to invest in a private jet if you go too far.
