When you come back to the US, you will appreciate things you didn't realize when you lived here, and missed some things from Europe you never thought about, so look forward to it. Life is very long and you might very well live and appreciate many more places. I would not wish to a dog or to a snake, to the most low and misfortunate creature of the earth-I would not wish to any of them what I have had to suffer for things that I am not guilty of [...]; but I am so convinced to be right that if you could execute me two times, and if I could be reborn two other times, I would live again to do what I have done already.~Bartolomeo Vanzetti |

I know you've been having a good time over there, hope you managed to make the most of it! So it sucks you're not going to be there a little sooner!! I'm going to be flying into IAD 6/14, and doing some work in Oakton, VA. Not sure when I'll be back in the area, probably not for a month or two after that. Our DC office was just readjusted under my office support again, so I'll be out there a bit more often, especially once I can get rid of these PITA Florida offices!

I was looking back on my flickr sets of things I've done since I've been here.. I've totally made the most of it. It's been fantastic. I've completely enjoyed traveling to new places and seeing and learning things.. but at some point you have to make changes.. it happens. It's not a bad thing at all. I'm glad I can work with the same company and they are going out of their way to keep me around. You'll have to find reason to take a drive down to Charlotte once you're settled! Well, I'm sure I'll get that way, no doubt. "Never, never, interrupt me, okay?

It seems as though the prime contract holder for this new contract will start taking over some of the spots in the EU and my company has made me a nice offer to come back to the DC are and do some work for some other Federal Agency. I'm starting to get quotes for movers, plan out packing days and all that jazz. I'll probably be living up near Dulles Airport (the new office is in Reston) so outside the beltway, but still close enough to get into town when I want too. So yeah.. good and bad. I'll miss some things out here, but I am looking forwards to seeing some people and being able to maybe start a new, semi permanent life somewhere. Yea, that's some news.

I decided to move to the bay area because of school, so I recently got a new job with my current company in their San Mateo office (starting June 7) and should be finalizing a place today or tomorrow up on the NW side of the city near Golden Gate park.

I assume they are more expensive then Vegas places, but by a lot? Yeah, quite a bit pricier. Not by as much as you'd think. We actually found a 3 bedroom rental with a big yard for a few hundred more than you'd fork out for rent in Vegas. All of our bills are going to go up, but right now we're actually living well below our means. Aside from a dent in the amount we save per month we won't see much impact. It's worth it, though. We've been wanting to move for some time. I will be much closer to my family (sister, cousin). And unlike Vegas, we'll have options in the event we decide to find different jobs. And I'll get to start playing the oboe in groups again! Yay oboe. |

It's across the bay by Lake Merritt (Lakeshore/Grand avenue). My cousin suggested that as a good area. It apparently takes about 25 minutes to get into the city (casual carpool or bus/bart), which is pretty awesome for Chris since he has to commute. We'll be up in the hills. My cousin works at the Embarcadero center and Chris is working by MOMA. We found places in the city (townhouses) for the same amount, but the commute to downtown was waaay longer. |
