Making Plans

It's been a busy and exciting few weeks for the New Haven Chapter of the McCullough Club - John's climbing trip, my vacation to LA, shifting back to work, and spring is finally here! As we've alluded to for many weeks, there's some exciting news on the horizon; however we didn't want to let the cat out of the bag too soon.

So first - an announcement: John's got his first post-graduate job! He'll be an Assistant Professor of Technical Direction at City Technical College in the Entertainment Technology Department. Are we excited? You bet your shiny top-hat we are! The way I've been describing it: "This is his dream job's, dream job". So John's going to start teaching in Brooklyn for the fall semester.

Now, you may be asking yourself the next logical question - will we live half way to NYC? Why, no! We're moving to New York in August! We've started looking at apartments in Brooklyn and neighborhoods. Our friends have been very helpful with advice and suggestions (if you have any, please don't hesitate!).

One more big bomb to couple with these...my job. While my heart is still in theatre, there are many practical concerns and I've come to LOVE working for H1 more than I'd ever expected to care for a job with a desk and a headset. 2 weeks ago my boss shared with me that they'd like to allow me to work from New York, and this week they promoted me to Sr. Analyst! Steve (my boss) was kind enough to surprise me by leading off our team meeting with an announcement of my immediate promotion - he said many wonderful things and I was tickled. It's a lot of responsibility and time managment, yet I think I'm up to it.

So here's the breakdown:
-John will graduate on Memorial Day
-Our lease is up May 31st and John's going to Poughkeepsie for the summer for work - it's only 2 months this time!
-I'll be staying in New Haven for the summer; partially because I don't want to move by myself again, and partially to have some more time in the office.
-John will be done in Poughkeepsie in mid-July - he'll come back to New Haven to help me prep for the move.
-Around August 1st we'll move to Brooklyn and I'll start working from home.
-In late August he starts teaching

Next, we take over the world!

I haven't had a chance to post yet about my AMAZING trip to LA yet; however I'd like to let "The Plan" sit for a little while and be absorbed. So, here's a teaser for my awesome trip-related post to come:
