Because this is the best way to make sure I didn't miss telling anyone important, we have another announcement to make.
We are moving to Syracuse, New York, come early August. Okay, actually we are only 98% sure of this decision. We are headed down to the temple this afternoon to pray for confirmation of that choice. Pmc got a phone call Tuesday morning with an offer for a Full Assistantship from the University. We are SO EXCITED.
Most of all though, I am very very proud of Pmc. He worked very hard for this offer, and did quite a few things he was a little uncomfortable with. But he sure is being rewarded for it. What a great early birthday present to him. Which reminds me we didn't take any pictures on his birthday yesterday....ugh. Oh well, you'll hear about his birthday in our Sunday post.
For now, here's some awesomeness about where we're headed.
Just try to tell me that isn't gorgeous!
His assistantship covers all of tuition, plus a stipend. He won't be allowed to hold any other job, but it looks like it's a good area for Suzuki Violin, so we'll get by. We get benefits too, although we're still trying to get the details on what exactly that means. And they'll let me take 3 credits each semester too! If I can find time amidst being a mom and teacher, I would LOVE to keep getting some edumacation! Yahoo!
We have yet to find a place to live, but we're working on that. We expect lots of visitors, especially if you're coming to visit Palmyra, which is only a 75-minute drive! We're so excited to be so close to so many places we want to visit.
