Thank you. There is so much to do. Our stuff is being shipped out in two freaking weeks! Oh my God.

I haven't even told my parents yet. Lance is still making phone calls.

Awesome!

Now I can say it officially, "Welcome to Washington".

Congrats! I'm happy for y'all :)

Wow, that was fast! Congrats to Lance on the job and to both of you on the impending move (and cool location).

Congratulations! :D

[identity profile] tully-monster.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Congratulations. He will never regret working with Boeing, and you'll find a good place to live. (The Seattle suburbs are nice.) You'll love Washington.

[identity profile] prosodic.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yay...you're back! I've missed you.

We are looking around Kent for a place to live. He won't be working in Seattle proper, but actually in the suburbs, and I hope to get a job close to where we live so I don't have to worry about a nightmarish commute.

[identity profile] emtqueen85.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! I have friends in Seattle and they love living there.

Congrats!

[identity profile] kukilia.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
yay! i hope you guys love Seattle!

[identity profile] prosodic.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
I think we'll like it better than Oklahoma City! :)

[identity profile] venus-starlet.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
Eeeeee I can't wait!! :) When do you move again?

[identity profile] prosodic.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
Early December. Although our stuff is being shipped off in a couple of weeks, and Lance probably needs to ship his truck ASAP, considering it takes about 65 days to get to Seattle.

We move out of this house at the end of November and will be living in a hotel for a few days.

It's all going to happen very very fast.

[identity profile] venus-starlet.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Very cool! Well I'll be up there for Christmastime, not sure if you will be in Ohio around then but if not maybe I could venture up north to Seattle! :)

[identity profile] prosodic.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, we plan to spend Christmas in Minnesota this year. Not sure yet if that's actually going to work out; if I get hired somewhere and they can't wait for me to start work until after Christmas, I will stay in Seattle and work and Lance can go home. He probably wouldn't be happy about it, but I'm not sacrificing a job. I need work. The cost of living is so much more expensive.

[identity profile] venus-starlet.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Very true! What I like about Oregon is that there's no sales tax, which helps...So you may have a few south of the border trips in store for bigger purchases! :)

[identity profile] prosodic.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? We'll need furniture. That's good to know. The base exchange has no sales tax either, but we're turned off the base exchange after our experience here.

[identity profile] venus-starlet.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yep!

[identity profile] nordlicht.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
yay!
and a liason for Boeing? ;) guess that means set after he retires to ;)

[identity profile] prosodic.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
As long as he does a good job with them (and he will)...yes, he should be set for after retirement. :)

[identity profile] nordlicht.livejournal.com 2007-09-30 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
Him not doing well doesn't even enter my equation, so there ;)
double yay then!
not tinker and future security! congrats!

Hehehe. S'ok. ;)

You can always come and visit me, you know. Friends are always welcome.

Congrats! That is awesome news!

[identity profile] prosodic.livejournal.com 2007-10-01 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Still waiting to hear about your awesome news. Not much longer now, is it? ;)

[identity profile] cookieschlampe.livejournal.com 2007-10-01 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
YAY, this is awesome! I will probably move to Seattle in 2009, so I really hope you will still be there :)


[identity profile] prosodic.livejournal.com 2007-10-01 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
We should still be there. This is at least a 3 year commitment, and probably more than that if everything goes as it should.

I would love to have you nearby. We can cook some tasty things. ;)

[identity profile] cookieschlampe.livejournal.com 2007-10-01 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You can't imagine how much I would love to have a "cooking buddy". But if we cook together, we should also workout together (so we don't feel bad when we eat all the tasty things we cook)

[identity profile] prosodic.livejournal.com 2007-10-01 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! There are countless hiking trails and stuff out there. Good for the dogs too. ;)
