I know many of you have been patiently waiting to hear our latest and greatest news....
if you click on the view larger map you can see exactly where we are headed!
That's right folks, we're hitting the road again! Yikes! There are so many emotions running through our brains - excitement, fear of packing & finding a new place to live, sad to leave our amazing Moscow friends family, but mostly a lot of excitement that we will be closer to our families. Approximately 4 hours to my parents and 3 hours to Aaron's makes for a perfect place to call home (for 20 months anyways...).
So, some details.... Aaron has accepted a joint USDA postdoc at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. He will be 'investigating climatic effects on regional forest insect outbreak dynamics' with a gentlemen by the name of Matt Ayres- he is pretty excited as it seems the competition for the job was pretty stiff! Aaron will plan to start at the end of September, which means we have approximately 2 months to get there. It is all a bit overwhelming at the moment but we are so excited to be making this move. Oh right and remember I'm pregnant...oh these travels will be interesting...
And I suppose I can't stress enough the bittersweet emotions we are all experiencing - tearing up while we tell our Moscow friends and smiling so hard it hurts my face to tell my parents we will be moving "home" - the next few months will be interesting to say the least...
Yeah!! We are SO EXCITED that you will be on the east coast!! Will be a few more hours away but cannot wait to spend time with all of you, be around for the new baby..and have you be around for ours!
