So…Sebastian took a job at the Denver Airport and moved to Denver! It was all quite sudden. When we were in Oregon, Seb was still working at UPS Cargo in Salt Lake and trying to decide if he wanted to work de-icing again this winter. When some jobs came open at United in Denver, he applied just to see what would happen. He has wanted to work for an actual airline (they have better benefits than the contractors he's worked for) but it's hard to get hired here in SLC because they don't have as many employees here. He was kind of surprised when he got offered the job! He was considering it, talking over pros and cons with us, and then suddenly the next day he told me he'd accepted the offer! We were surprised and a little taken aback because it happened so quickly, and he would have to move in a month! But we were also glad he was being brave and moving forward. He'd been wanting to make a change for a while and this was a great chance for it!
Seb found some apartments for rent online, and we narrowed them down a bit, but felt like he really ought to see them in person. He had to go to Denver for a badging appointment and drug test at the airport anyway, so I decided to go with him for a quick overnight trip so we could check some places out. I felt sort of underqualified to help, since I have never apartment hunted before myself! I lived at home in college, then in London, then with Rachael in her grandpa's house while he was living elsewhere. And then I got married! So I don't know anything. But I could provide moral support (and the benefit of my years of wisdom of course🙄). Oh, and unlike Seb I'm old enough to rent a car. So that was something.
