Preparing to move to Maine

You don't realize how much stuff you have until you have to move. I can't imagine why we've kept half of the crap we have. If you're interested in going through someone else's trash to find some treasure please come to our house. It's out of control. My last day at my job is May 1st, and we will be hitting the cleaning and packing really hard after that. With plans to have Ryan's dedication at church in Mount Holly on May 13th, it looks like we'll be officially in Maine sometime mid-May.

In other news, I have a job! I will be working at the University of Southern Maine at the Portland campus. My role is a brand new one that will focus on enrollment and recruitment for the adult education and online programs. I could not be more excited. This is a job for which I applied prior to us matching in Maine, because the committee was going to stop accepting application packets on Match Day and I knew I would be so upset if I missed the opportunity and we ended up there. It will be so nice to make a smooth (hopefully) transition from one workplace to the next.

Nik has finished all of his paperwork and is trying to get used to signing MD at the end of his name. He will graduate and be a full-fledged doctor on May 4th.
