Moving on up...

So we decided to take the positions at Marshall University. Nick will be an assistant professor and I have a visiting professor position, which should develop into more, but it depends on a lot of things. We are excited, but not looking forward to all the packing and moving itself. And we will miss my parents and all they do for us a lot! But it will be nice to start our "real life."

We have been spending a lot of time organizing, cleaning, and packing. But we have had time for some fun. We went to Nick cousin, Xanna's, graduation party. It was great to see all the family, but although I actually had my camera I thought I did not. So no pictures :(

Sam loved the birds in Houston, so I took her to the zoo to have lunch with a friend of mine and we went by the new parakeet experience. She really loved running around pointing out the birds.

We also went to Six Flags with my parents. My dad and I love roller coasters, so we had a great time. Sam only got to get out of the stroller a few times. Here we are on the monster mansion ride. She was pretty tired and I only had a few seconds to snap a shot.
