Moving to the Garden State
Last November we took a trip to visit our friends in Manhattan. During that week, I fell in love with the east coast. As a silly suggestion, I told Steven that we should both quit our jobs and move out there. He actually liked the idea too, and so he looked into some positions back east with his current company.
Much to our surprise, the company had a bunch of positions open in one of the branches in New Jersey. All of them however, would have to mean a big promotion for Steven. Because of the current economy, the company was very willing to promote Steven much earlier than anticipated to keep from hiring outside the company. He started the interviewing process last month, and now its official. We are moving to New Jersey!!
Steven starts next month. That leaves us with three weeks to get everything together to move out there! Its fast, but we are very excited. Steven is very happy to start a new position and we are both anticipating the adventure of a new city.
So, if you have any suggestions about moving cross-country we would love it...or any moving boxes would be appreciated! :)
Here's a little place we are thinking of renting...hahaha...sure is pretty though.

Aaaaak! That's so soon!!! We will miss you! I'll help you pack...
And, yeah, I know the Mellott's have dibs on your house. =)
We are super excited to be close to you guys again. Now if Steven and I could just find another good Thai restaurant.
What a fun adventure! Good luck with the move. Every cross-country move we've done we sold everything we own except for two cars full--but I'm guessing you probably have nicer stuff and the company is paying for the move.
I'M SO EXCITED!
Yay! I am excited for you...need more details--where in New Jersey? And what does his new job entail? have fun packing :-)
Wow! Good for you guys! I have always wanted to head back there! Now we have someone to come visit! We are really happy for you guys! Congratulations on the promotion too! Love you!
that is so awesome!! Congrats! We just moved across the country 3 weeks ago. The most important thing I can tell you about a long move like that, is make sure all your furniture is packed really well. LOTS of padding. When we arrived we were sad to discover that a lot of our furniture was dinged and scraped up really bad. So make sure you do that. Drive safe!
Congratulations! What a great opportunity. How great to live by the Carters...it's settled, we have to come out and visit :)
