Update and What's Next?

So wow, it's July 2013!  Curtis moved to Alabama 2 years ago, where did the time go?!

(We still have a report on our Hamburg trip due, I'll try to get that up this weekend)

In the meantime, we have some planned and unplanned (not of the pregnancy variety, I know it's not just me that perks up when they hear the word "unplanned.") changes ahead!

As you may know, I (Christine) will be in Philadelphia next month for the next year.  I am still looking for a place to live but the picture is getting clearer of what I need and want.  We already have a daycare lined up for Kenny.  We will drive up there August 14-15 or so, and I start my new job on the 19th!    The biggest challenge will be what I can fit in my car to take with me, and whether I decide to ship anything as well.  I'm definitely looking forward to a new city but will feel calmer when it's all over. 

 I'm also in the process of moving out of my office - I have so much more stuff to take home than I ever expected after less than two years of work! 

It doesn't help that two other attorneys departed recently (one became a judge and the other went "in-house"), so the recycle bins are in high demand
As for Curtis, he will stay with his job at Airbus in Mobile.  With that said, and I don't want to go into details online until we know 100% for sure, but we are starting to tell friends and family that it looks like there might be a short-term change to that plan (as to location, not company).  It's probably less exciting than it sounds as a teaser but it will simultaneously make our lives more complicated and less difficult during for at least a part of the clerkship.  Lets just say that the distance might not be so "long" this fall for us to be apart.  

And as a side note, Curtis got the highest grade possible in his first two business school classes at MBA@UNC.  It was completely expected and we've very proud.  Only 7 quarters to go!

Also, a delayed happy 4th of July, from my two favorite guys (Kenny is, as we say, in "full cuteness mode," because of his cut):

Hamburg Trip

Author's note: this was not originally published in July 2013, but for the sake of continuity, blah blah blah...

Hamburg! Land of pretzels, museums, and wine festivals. Also: cold, but we had a nice time. I was lucky, I got to explore more, Curtis had to do the whole work thing. We also decided that if we have the opportunity, we could live there for a few years.
