Did the weekend wait kill you?
Are you ready to kill me for keeping this news from you for too long?
Am I too mean and evil?
Are you reading all of these questions or have you simply skipped to the bottom of this post to find out "The Big Announcement"?
Well, you've waited long enough. I have held you in suspense for too long. "The Big Announcement" is...
Nick and I are moving to California!
Late last month Nick flew out to California to interview with The Company. Within a week they had e-mailed him with an offer. A week later we had made the decision to move to California. To say that these past few weeks have been whirlwind would be a great great GREAT understatement. Initially deciding to move to California was a hard decision to arrive upon. Nick and I had always hoped that there would be a job for us in Chicagoland, but as things were thought out, as we realized how exciting it will be to move out there. Moving to California soon became less of a scary idea and more of a real and thrilling reality.
As of right now we do not have a lot of specific plans. Nick plans on starting sometime in mid-August. The Company will be packing and moving our stuff including our cars. When we arrive in California The Company will provide a furnished apartment (with basic cable!) for 30 days along with a rental car(s?) until our personal cars arrive. The area we will be moving to will be somewhere around San Francisco.
While I have (mostly) come to terms that we are moving to California, there are still those moments where I cannot believe that it is actually happening. Over the weekend I would see images of mountains and think, "I am going to live near mountains soon." I bought some avocados over the weekend and I realized that soon I won't be paying $1.25 per avocado (hopefully!).
I have realized that I am going to live in a climate where I might actually need a decent bathing suit and where I am going to need gallons and gallons of sun screen.
Two and a half months left in the Midwest! I cannot believe it! Can you?
California or Bust!!
