Reality Interrupts Baseball
While this may look like an all-day-all-night red sox site, it actually was created with a different purpose; to periodically chronicle Sara and my impending move from Boston, the bluest of blue states, where we've both lived for most of our lives, to the reddest of red that is Houston. Note that this isn't particularly a move of our choice, but I'm getting transferred for work, Sara can continue with her job offsite and a host of other reasons has made it in our best interest to give it a shot, at least for 6 months. While this was pleasantly interrupted by the sox run for the series, the reality of the whole thing is starting to set in.
As of today, we have a firm date of when we need to be down there, two days after Christmas. We've also been in touch with the corporate housing people and are awaiting floorplans and the like to decide where we'll stay the first 6 months (one place includes the promise of "European charm in the heart of Houston", which is a little much, but most places seem pretty nice so far). We've also arranged for our contractually required intermediate-sized rental car, I've sent off my application to finish up my MBA at UH and I just booked by two pre-move trips down to Houston. Sara has even started the process of trading in her giant iMac for a laptop.
I feel cautiously optimistic about the whole thing.
