We had our annual family June birthday bash yesterday at my brother's house. We have my brothers B-day, his 7 yo twins, and Lisa's b-day all together. This was the third family get together since we started piecing, and the first time my parents were there.
Everything went fine. My mom and dad gave her a very nice card, and a gift card and my mom wrote on there to get something nice for the new house. Everyone was positive about our upcoming move and expressed their desire to visit someplace new.
Work is looking good for moving - It looks like I'm going to change projects (really needed a change) but will still be able to work remotely, so moving to Boston will be much easier as I don't have to add a job search into an already busy, stressful situation.
I am psyched about a new environment, and I love the ocean. I don't love humidity, though, but one can adapt! I lived in Alaska for 6 years - that took some getting used to! :-) The downside is, of course I'm leaving a lot of friends. But, thanks to the wonder of the internet, text messaging, and everyone having cell phones, it's at least possible to keep in touch virtually!
