big news

many of you already know this but for those of you that don't, i have some big news to share. i have accepted a year long rotation in the marketing department for one of the medicines i sell. unfortunately, the marketing department is in raleigh, north carolina. the plan is for me and thalia to move down to raleigh and for chris to follow sometime later this year. yes, i know that is shocking to some...but he has a lot in the air with the band right now. so he is going to focus on his music and trying to get the band's cd signed to a record label. he should know by christmas what is going to happen with it. then he will either be a rock star :o) or move down to nc with thalia and me. we think it is a win-win situation. i get to pursue my dream of being involved in marketing and he gets to pursue his dream of becoming a rock star. yes it is going to be hard for everyone to be apart but the company does provide two airline tickets a month that either i can use to fly back to michigan or chris can use to fly down to raleigh.

so the plan is for me to leave thursday morning and drive my car down, and for chris to fly down with thalia on friday. the company provides a furnished apartment for us to live in so hopefully we can move into it friday. i may have to wait until later the next week depending on availability. i am trying to work that out today. i also still have to find a day care for thalia since chris is going to stay in ypsi for a while and the one that i looked at that was "on campus" cost more than my house payment. (yikes!) so next week is going to be crazy...just like this week actually. but it is a fantastic opportunity for me...i am the only person in the country who will be doing this particular rotation.

please keep up in your prayers over this next week as we get ready to move thalia and me down to north carolina. we do have some family down there which will be very helpful and comforting. but it is definitely going to be a big adjustment. thanks for all your love and support!

much love and little sleep,

c, c, and t

here is a funny picture of thalia chewing on her hat strap to make you smile :o) have a great weekend!
