So up to this point I have been introducing the upcoming news as "So I have a bit of news". But I've been told that is not "a bit" of news. And no I'm not pregnant.
Jason has been offered a job doing p.r. for Nascar. So as of Feb. 7, 2007 he will be a new resident of Daytona, FL. I'm going to stay here in New London until after the wedding. Then I will also be a new resident of the Sunshine State. None of this will affect the wedding plans. Too much is already rolling with that to change.
The job will be totally great for Jason. I'm so proud of him. Nascar has minor tracks the way baseball has minor leagues. Jason will be overseeing the p.r. for that segment of the organization. So he will be doing a lot of traveling at least in the beginning to familiarize himself the different tracks. Back during the summer he was talking to their head honcho saying that their website for news of the minor tracks sucked and here were 5 easy ways to fix it. They were farely impressed with what he had to say so they asked if he was interested in a job. They flew him down to Fla. the week of Thanksgiving for an interview. And then made the offer last week. We kept it under wraps until everything was official because this was great opportunity for him and didn't want to jinx it!
They are paying to move us so all our furniture will be gone by the end of Feb. I'm hoping to move into this apartment around the corner from us where they are looking for another roommate. Should know by Wed. whether that will work out. Otherwise I may couch surf for a little while. I'll keep everyone posted. Phone number will stay the same. I knew the moment I got that photo wall up this would happen! :O)
See I told you it was big news!

Wow. That is so cool Kate!
What an exciting adventure for the two of you.
I had to laugh when you said, no, I'm not pregnant.
That is so exciting! I was waiting for the news because I saw you post something on Ann's comments about news. Please extend my congrats to Jason. And, now I have a great reason to travel to FL!!! : )
Keep us posted.
How exciting! Seems like a dream job. Congratulations!

thanks everyone! although very freaked out about moving there at the moment. there were big storms with tornadoes today. 14 people died pretty much right in the area we are going to be looking for houses next week. great.
Claudine's parents live in FL and have never had a serious problem. Although, their condo is on an island and the island is sinking! Well, it is losing mass. When I was there in May there was a beach and when Claudine visited in December the beach was pretty much gone! The powers that be are building retaining walls and trucking in sand but it is sort of hard to fight Mother Nature. Eek!
Think of it this way, there is something everywhere...fires in AZ, earthquakes in CA, floods in the Pacific NW. Soon we'll have locusts or the plague or something! : )
Happy house hunting. Keep us posted. Are you looking to buy?
