We had to say goodbye to Brady and Faithanne last night, and so it begins, the separation from family. We are so glad they flew down from San Francisco for the weekend. They helped us get ready for the move, helping clean out our garage, and Brady was MVP for helping me get a great deal on our new, Ruby Red Subaru Outback! He turned us on to USAA's car buying service. He also helped me with options. Amazingly, I was able to drive off with the car, despite not having a job or Kathy's SSN for the credit app. It's nice to have good credit!
Here's another FAQ: Craig AK is an hour behind us in San Diego, so it just turned 7:00 am there as I write this post. The Weather Underground website says it's clear and 49 degrees in Craig; the sun came up at 4:25 am and it will set at 9:30 pm, another drastic change from life in Southern California.
I didn't finish the car-buying experience until about 8:30 pm last night, so I was very late getting to the Jewels House. They hosted us all for Chinese dinner. Henry got to see his first fireworks from their deck on top of the garage, which has an excellent view of the Sea World fireworks.
It's hard to believe it's only been 11 days since Kathy got the job offer. This is marking quite the Year of Change for us and our kids. Brady started a new assignment at work on July 1, and Faithanne joins a new company on August 15, very exciting; Jared will have a new job soon, and Henry will turn one year old. Kelli's job as Executive Director at San Diego Writers Ink entered a new fiscal year on July 1st. She's been able to accomplish a lot in her first year there, mostly shoring up foundational issues, and is now poised to begin building on that solid foundation.
Lot's of change for us this year. Maybe I will even get a new job! Keep your fingers crossed!
You will get a job... in small towns, anyone of any expertise will get hired... unlike here in SD great people are hard to find.
