Update and musings

So, I accepted the offer at UT-Knoxville last Thursday. I turned in my notice here at the office. I think my last day is going to be April 17th. I talked with the wife and I think we are going to try and go on a vacation before we move up the road.

There is an extensive laundry list of things I have to do in the next six weeks. Obviously we are going to have to start packing. We will also have to start looking for a place in Knoxville. Also, Tonya will have to start looking for a job of some sort. It is a little daunting, but I am really pumped about getting started on the whole grad school thing.

I am going to start working on a research project this summer with my advisor at UTK. We are going to be looking for evidence of earthquakes in the Tennessee Valley for a government agency. It is going to be a chance for me to get my feet wet with research and also get in some field work. It is going to be an absolutely enormous transition for me I am sure.

Gotta run.... more later
