gone plum crazy

I had a job interview today, and was meeting with the owner of the company. He looked at me and said, "You had a full time job, at Wharton, that you quit for no real reason. And your husband is a full time student? What were you thinking?"

And now we've done something even crazier. That's right: I quit my full time job (there was a real reason, I think...), Isaac is a full time student, we have very little income, I have to start paying a boat-load for health insurance next month, we haven't done our taxes yet out of fear of how much we owe, and now....
we are headed to Puerto Rico!

Because honestly, what else would we do? Hold on to our money with tight fists and pray that we can live on it for a few more years until Isaac gets a job? Crazy talk! Off to the Caribbean with us!

P.S. I got offered the job, but not sure if I want it. I'll let you know how that internal debate pans out.

Puerto Rico sounds good to me. Jenny went there on her mission and we plan to go back for a vacation after I graduate. You might as well spend your money having some fun so people don't think you're completely loony.
By the way, those ellipses behind the "real reason, I think" have got my suspicions piked. I'm hoping and praying for something good.

I'm a friend of Isaac's mom and I connected to your blog through hers (which she never updates - shame on you Debby). Anyway, I say to you "you go girl". You can always make money later. Enjoy yourself, and make memories. You are young - live life.

I am so jealous but Jacob promised to take me again in a few years. Is it a cruise or are you flying there. Because I can tell you a whole bunch of great places to go while there.
-This is Jenny by the way.
