The Eagle has Landed!
Well as you know I flew to Austin for my final interview on Friday. I am happy to say that I was given a very good offer and have accepted it. I will be starting on Monday, February 6th. That means that my last day at my job in LA will be the Thursday before I start so I can leave the next day for Austin (I want to have 1 day to refresh before going to work on that Monday).
I am also happy to report that I have secured an apartment very close to where our new house will be. It is a really nice brand new apartment that is going through the final stages of construction. It should be available around the time I start (I might have to hang out in a hotel for a little while until it is ready). The apartment comes with all the appliances that we are getting with our new house so we do not need to bring anything from California. It is also located really close to a brand new HEB (that’s a really nice grocery store chain for you non-Texans).
I have to say that I am so thankful to God for making everything go so smoothly in every aspect of our move. He has just confirmed over and over again that this is the direction that he wanted us to go.
So this is the breakdown of dates -
Feb 2nd – Dan’s last day at Learning Tree
Feb 3rd – Dan leaves for Austin
Feb 6th – Dan starts new job
Feb 6th – 18th – Sometime around here I move into our new apartment
Feb 10th – Elsy’s last day @ UCI
Feb 17th – Dan flies back to California
Feb 18th – The whole family leaves for Austin
Feb 19th – We are in Austin
That is it. We are all so excited to be moving. More updates will come when they are available.
