The crisis we avoided

So, Spanish guy and I feel very blessed with the way things are going recently. While we enjoyed an AMAZING two years in Spain together, after we got married, the plan was always to return, until recently when we realized how bad things were there. Spain has the highest unemployment rate in all of the European Union at close to 25%. Thats absolutely INSANE!

Today my hubby started a new job. A position that is related to his university degree, a position that is a few blocks away from where we live and a position that he has dreamed of for a long time! And I want to venture to say, a position that would have been MUCH more difficult to get if we were living in Spain (with a lot less pay as well).

Its the first job he applied for, he went on an interview, then he went on a second interview with the ED -- he was hired that same day. From an international perspective, in NYC the crisis doesn't seem to exist for some... even though this is where it began...

We have to count our blessings and be grateful every day for what we have and what we have worked for.
