Happy New Year’s. That’s the only thing that we did this week–we celebrated New Year’s. Or we slept through New Year’s, depending on how you want to look at it. Elisa was asleep at 10 pm. The fireworks woke her up just enough to say, “That is really loud.” I’m the life of the party.

I turned in my resignation at Microsoft on Tuesday and I didn’t get fired. Chad had really been laboring over what to do and say and when, so this came as a huge relief. The week was pretty uneventful. The few co-workers that I told where we’re going all got jealous. 🙂

Earlier this week we ran into some people I went to high school with. I ended up spending some time catching up with some others I was inspired to get in touch with. Some people are still the same “kids” from high school, others are doing really impressive things. It was fun to catch up.

This Thursday a surveyor came from our moving company. It was the first time this move really felt real. I felt like there were a million things to do all of a sudden, but really they are taking care of pretty much everything. So instead Chad and I are kind of pacing around feeling like we should be really busy when really we just have to wait a lot of things out. This week we found people to take our piano, a desk, Elisa’s phone, our spare bed and our old digital camera! It has been a blessing to have so many things taken off our hands by people that we are really excited are receiving them.
