The Latest in the Craig Corporation Saga.... it never gets dull



Okay so we might be moving, either to Pensacola FL, or back to Utah, we might just stay here...  So this is what has happened in the last two weeks.

1. Brent gets an Email from Suntrust bank in FL asking him if he would be interested in an area position in Pensacola.  After talking with me we decided that we are really happy here in South Bend. However when he replied to the Email, he said he would always be willing to talk.

2. At 4 pm that day he recieved an email from the hr department for Suntrust asking him to fill out an official application and send his resume as an attachment with the app.  Oh yeah they asked him if hr could call him that next Thursday at 2.

3. Friday at 2 after a fantastic interview hr called and asked if the vice president of retail for Suntrust could call him the next Friday at 10 am.

4. A 20 min interview and the vp of retail absolutely loves him (aaaaggghhhh). Says that hr will get in touch to match dates to fly him to Jacksonville.

5. 10 min later he has a plane ticket to Jacksonville to have another interview not only with vp of retail, but the pres of the bank.   

Yeah can you say wow?  WOW WOW WOW.

So by step 3 Brent was talking with his buddy Jason in Utah ( he has been with Brent for 8 years) Says "what will it take to move you back here as an area leader?"  Brent says buy my house and give me a butt load of a raise.  Jason says he will see what he can do.

I just don't know what to think at this point.  We really are happy here, and we want to move to bigger and better things.  We need to strike while Brent is on top and I understand that, I just want to be settled by the time the kids are all in school.  I told Brent that if FL is the place he wants to be then lets make it happen, but no more moving for a while.  He seemed okay with the response so look out world the South Bend Craigs are on the move again.  ( this will be the 13 move in 8 years for those of you who keep track).
