Aaron got the promotion!!!

I have lots to update on but the biggest and best news is that AARON GOT THE PROMOTION!! You may recall that Aaron's boss retired last December and Aaron has been the acting Hatchery Biologist since January 10th. After a long two months, they finally opened the position up right before we left for Florida in March and Aaron submitted his resume. Another month after that, Aaron was one of three interviewed for the position. Finally, last week Aaron was offered the position and is now the Hatchery Biologist which means he's the guy in charge of this hatchery. Unfortunately it won't mean a raise for another two years, but Aaron (and I) and still thrilled! Because Aaron's previous position was a specialized one, he was making more money than what someone starting out as a Hatch biologist would. And technically, he will actually make less money this year than he did last year because he will no longer receive holiday pay. But the good news? He won't be receiving holiday pay because he won't be working holidays!! Yay! More good news is that he will no longer have to work weekends, either! He will remain on call for 1 week a month, though which is good because we'll be able to keep the on site housing. So a big Congrats to my hubby!

More updates to come soon...
