Jordan got a job.
Jordan starts next Monday as the Director of IT for the City of Goodland. He is very excited. Part of his new job will be to implement new technologies around town and he is psyched about it.
I feel a little torn because my vision of our moving here would be us working side by side. Now he will be working at the city building and I will be running the household, homeschooling the kids and running a bookstore. We will hire someone and can afford to pay them with Jordan working, so don't join in my pity party :)
There has been a major change in our focus with this job though. Now we don't have to have this bookstore sustain us, we can focus on giving Goodland what it needs. A community place to hang out and have a coffee and chit chat. We don't have to create a bookstore that is jammed to the rafters with books, we want a relaxing cafe atmosphere (with books).
Here is what one area of the future store looks like now:

These are some old stained glass windows we found at thrift store that are cool:
