is it a sign?

kevin has an interview this thursday for a job at my work. it's a warehouse job, but it's steady work and decent pay. he'd actually be making the same amount as me. it's not very much, but the benefits are the silver lining. is it a sign? [plus, if we both work there, my understanding is that one of us gets to take home the extra compensation in place of the benefits (we don't need double coverage)]

i ask if it's a sign because, not only does he have an interview this week...but this week, the townhouse we've been dreaming about just dropped $10,000 to $159,900! if kevin can get this job, we are one step closer to owning a home. although it's not a "house" it is one step closer. it'd be the perfect starter home for our little family. here are the details i know you're all dying to know:

2 story townhome
3 Beds
2.5 Baths
1300 SF
Attached 1-car garage
1 extra assigned space
Recently Remodeled
Granite counters throughout
Hardwoods on main floor
New appliances/fixturs
New carpet on upper level/stairs
Laundry room w/ WD
*Greatroom layout: kitchen opens to family room with wood-burning fireplace
*Glass slider to private, fenced patio w/ grass!

although our down payment would be very minimal, it would be worth it in the end. it's my understanding that they don't have too many bites on this home. they flyer box is always full and they keep dropping the price. i wonder how much they'd be willing to take on the house? it's not like we'd have to offer full price. my dad said he'll get his realtor friend to get us in to view the house. i think it'll be smart to wait until we hear what happens with kevin's interview before viewing the house. i don't want to get my hopes up for nothing. all i can think is what a great opportunity this would be for us. hopefully we can get all our ducks in a row.
