Less Than Three Weeks Until Move

Sometime this week I need to go and check on getting a storage unit for all of our stuff. The plan, as of today, is to put about 95% of our stuff in storage and spend a couple of months living at my inlaws house. I think I will be traveling quite a bit as a part of my research assistantship this summer. Also, this will give us a couple more months to get all of our credit cards paid off which will be nice.

Last weekend T and I went to talk with a realtor about getting a house in Knoxville. We were sort of hoping to get a really sweet deal on a foreclosure. Apparently, most of those deals are being scooped up by investors, so they are hard for regular people to find. I think we will probably just end up renting a place for the couple of years we are up there. T and t are going up to Knoxville today to look around at some townhomes and condos. We really need some space. Right now we are making due with a 1,000 square foot duplex, and it is really crowded, especially now that we have t. He really needs his own space, and T and I really need our own space for an office. So, hopefully she will come across something that will fit that bill.

I will really only have two more weeks of work after tomorrow. Awesome....

Alright, so an entirely new level of cuteness has been attained. Seriously, it is almost impossible to be upset with him these days.

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
