Wow--A LOT has happened in 2 weeks!!!

Yowza! What a busy and eventful two weeks!! After getting back from a fantastic trip to Miami, Bill and I have had some non-stop excitement--which has been really stressful at times, but ultimately just amazing.

Where to start?? Well.....on the Monday we got back, I had a job interview with the top law firm in St. Louis, and on Wednesday of that week they made me an offer! YAHOOOOOOO! I'm not bragging, really, it's just unbelievable to me. I still can't believe that I'm not just in a really long dream--it has been a struggling 18 months since I left the PDs office and everyone has been so wonderfully supportive of me. Bill has been nothing but loving, kind, and overall perfect throughout and I am so lucky to have him in my life. Friends like Sarah, Kelly, and Teneil have constantly kept my spirits up, as have my parents and Teddy. I have learned a lot about myself as well as made some great new mentors and friends (Liz, Mary, Christy, Lisa) from my in-between work and will always be grateful to them for believing in me. Ok, now I'm crying....enough about me!

Bill has been selected to present a poster and attend a big conference in England! Yeah! His lab guy is only taking Bill--I think it's a ploy to get him to stay and not finish up his PhD this year. Bill has also had some cool breakthroughs in his human heart experiments--he was able to induce an arrhythmia which apparently hasn't happened before (these are "bad" hearts he gets from transplant patients when they get their new ones). So cool!

So now we are putting the house on the market and planning on moving to a condo downtown--we're sick of driving to work and we won't have any time to take care of the yard the next two years anyway. The condo building is literally right across the street from my new job, which is nice, but the best part is that there is a dog park on the roof! George and Otis went with us to check out the building and they give it 8 "paws up"--yeah! So....know anyone who wants to buy our house? The 'Stang isn't included, but I think some tools are negotiable.........
