Big Changes Are Afoot...
Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday!
Guess what?!? My husband has a new job! And a really, really, really good job, too...so proud of him. In the end it was totally worth taking our time/being picky (his first job interview was November of 2011, although he wasn't really looking until June of last year).
Anyway...a great salary.
A really good/high level job title, higher than he was expecting.
And we are going to have GOOD health insurance! (Having to deal with your own insurance is one of the hardest parts of freelancing.)
And he has THREE WEEKS paid vacation every year, PLUS the week between Christmas and New Years off, which is huge!
Oh, and he has every other Friday off too.
It's with Sandia National Labs, which means we are moving to...
ALBUQUERQUE!
As I was mentioning yesterday, I am determined to make it good, to love it and love our life there.
I'm already psyched about:
- Mexican food (it's different in New Mexico than elsewhere, and oh so good...)
- Hiking and snowboarding close by
- It's not too far from my family in Colorado, we'll be able to see them easily
- Cool New Mexico weekend trips like Santa Fe. Taos. Roswell (that's one my husband is excited about). The Lightning Field
- A city with shopping and arts, live music and good restaurants
- I also love the Albuquerque aesthetic--adobe houses, the American Indian and Spanish influences...
- Etc.
New Mexico's called The Land of Enchantment, so it's gotta be cool, right?
We're going to be down there by February. Lots of logistical stuff to deal with. One step at a time...
XOXO
