Well, the orders came through.

They want me to start working remotely on the 18th. So, I'll still be around just working for the new company. The really hard part is they want me up there on September 2nd. Crazy.

So, we're selling the house and have a few odds and ends that we'll be putting in a yard sale come the 23rd. Nothing really fancy, just decluttering.

The house will be officially on the market as of tonight. Seriously, if anyone is in the market for the area it's a great house. I think we're listing it at $218,900. A really good deal, actually. I've got two or three really tiny things to do before the realtor comes and takes pictures though so I'll be busy these next couple of days making it all pretty.

If you're interested there will be an open house this Sunday (crosses fingers) I'll PM you the address and you can be sure to come and keep the riff raff from digging through my things. Or maybe you'll dig through them...whatever.

It's finally starting to sink in. I'm really doing this. Man I need a beer or six.



Well, I've accepted a job in Seattle. Publicis in the West wants me up there to work on their up and coming interactive division and has finally agreed to pay me a wage I can live on. There are very few things I'm going to miss about Dallas, but this group is one of 'em.

As of right now we're getting ready to sell the house, figuring out a start date for the job and deciding how the hell we're gonna move our life across the country. So, I don't really have many details yet.

But if anyone's looking for a cute little cottage type house in Little Forest Hills, lemme know. 2 bed, 2 bath, 1 car garage with extra storage space, new electrical...actually a great little house. Hate to leave it.

I'll keep you all up to date with details, but thought I'd announce it was happening finally.  [thumbsup]

I hate to hear that you're leaving us, tho. I wish you the best up there in the Land of Pike's Market. Watch out for the flying fish.

I had an uncle who lived in the Seattle area; loved to go visit.  Then we had a neighbor years ago that retired up there... Must be *something* to it  [laugh]

Congrats on the new digs - here's to hoping it's better than you expect, in every respect  [beer]

Man, hate to hear that you're leaving, but happy to hear that the move is a good one for you.

I'll be gone in two days, and you'll be gone when I get back, so I'll say, "Best of everything to ya!" now...

Best of everything to ya!  Good luck and Godspeed!

Best,
Norris

does purchase of said house also include an honorary position with the lollie bomb troupe??  that would be a pretty sweet selling point.
