Move

Noah’s going to take the new job. I’m scared and excited and not sure how I feel about it. He had his interview a couple days ago, and was offered the job on the spot (which wasn’t a huge surprise, since we already knew they were interested in him). He didn’t accept the offer right then, because he wanted to come home and talk to me about it, which they appear to have taken as him not being sure about it, because they called him this morning and raised their salary offer, which was already really good to begin with. So…awesome.

Anyway, I told him that it should be his decision and I’d support it either way, so he decided to take the job. And just called them a few minutes ago to accept it. And he just left to go tell his current job that he’s quitting. And we’re going to move in a few weeks. Holy crap. I’m freaking out a bit.

I don’t have too many roots anywhere, which makes moving a mostly painless thing, I guess. It’s not like I’m leaving my family or anything. But I have friends here who I love. And it means I can’t go back to my old job. And I’m hoping it’s not totally weird to be back in the city where I used to live when I was a totally different person.

I guess I need to figure out which neighborhoods are good for kids, and all that. All I know is where the good bars are. 🙂

I think this is a good thing. I really want to have a house, and a neighborhood, and I’ll be able to have a car again (I don’t have a car right now, because there’s nowhere to park and it just doesn’t feel worth it. Although Noah does have a car that I use sometimes. But when we move I’ll probably get my own car, which will be nice).

He’s probably going to start the new job about a week before the wedding date, though. I’m not sure what will happen with that. He wants to move up the wedding so we can have it where we are now, with all our friends around. I’m not so thrilled about rushing it any more than I have to. Although I suppose deciding to move to another city with him is a bigger commitment than a piece of paper.

Too many thoughts right now to figure out which ones are important.
