Long Time No Post!

Sorry for the long interval between posts! There's been a lot of stuff happening.

First, I had an interview for a job up in Portland. It went really well, they made me an offer but it was low -- so I countered, and they accepted my counter. The upshot is I accepted the position and I'm starting my new job in late January. It's a really great opportunity -- a nice bump in pay, better opportunities, fun people to work with, good benefits. It's a definite step up.

Samantha and I have worked out most of our differences. The strain of packing and getting ready to move has been pretty intense, but I am confident we will be okay. It won't be fun in the short run though. Still, I'm really excited about getting a chance to start over in a new place.
