Moving

Many of you already know thanks to Facebook all about our news. But for us, it's still very much new. Although it's been a possibility since early April, and the offer was made several days ago, I'm still reeling from the reality that in a few short months everything is changing for us.

Jason accepted a job with Our Lady Of The Elms College, also known as Elms College, or Elms today. We need to be in Massachusetts by late August and classes start September 1st. There's a lot to do. While we are still half packed from our move to my parents over a year and a half ago, we'll need to go through those boxes (and all the stuff upstairs) and whittle down our possessions. We've got to find someplace to live, and someone to move all of our stuff - I don't think either Jason or I are up to driving a fully loaded truck half-way across our big country. Hardest of all, we've got to say goodbye to dear friends and family who are right here and who've been hoping that we would remain here, or at least somewhere in the mid-west.

I'm pretty sure Elms will be a good fit for Jason. I'm hoping that it will be a good fit for Nora and I too. Time will tell. In the next couple of months, we'll be busy - but not too busy for all of you. Wish us luck!

Maggie, Jason - congratulations!!! :)
I know the move is going to be a big one for you - i hope it goes smoothly and that we can see you sometime this summer, or in the fall once we're out East too.

Big hugs!
