Anya moves on Friday

It seems very fast, but on Friday, March 30th, Anya moves to Seattle to begin work on April 2. Her company is paying for her to stay in corporate housing temporarily while we seach for an apartment. I'm going with her this weekend so we can begin the hunt and then going back in a couple of weeks to continue. Luckily Research in Motion also connected us with an apartment hunting firm; since this is all happening on pretty short notice, we're going to rely heavily on them to help us find a good place to live.

Going skiing

If you try to email one of us and we don't respond, it's because we'll be in Colorado skiing until March 24th. We'll respond when we get back.

Welcome

Welcome to the blog. This is where we'll be posting info, comments on our experiences, links to pics, etc about our upcoming move to Seattle.

To give you some context, here's what's going on:
On March 12, Anya accepted a fantastic job offer in Seattle. She's going to be moving there to start work at the beginning of April; I'm going to follow at the end of April.

Anya's going to be working as a Usability Analyst at a company called Research in Motion. Most people haven't heard of them until you clarify that they're the makers of Blackberry devices. Anya is going to post more about her new job later.

I don't yet have a job arranged there (and I haven't yet quit from Target), but I'm going to be searching soon.

That's about all we know for the moment. More later.
