Well it is as real as it gets now. I am now in CT and begin my position at the Yale law School as Associate Registrar at 8:30 AM tomorrow. I opted to leave my longboard behind and with the weather I think it was the appropriate choice.
Initially it seems that Liz and Dennis are doing okay. My father in law picked me up at JFK and brought me into town. After about 20 trips to local stores, I am finally settled. It's not a huge room but it will suit my initial needs as a married man going to bachelor hood for a few days/weeks.
Traffic on our home isn't great but people are starting to look. Apparently we had a family reunion with 25 family members engaged in looking at the property. Although I might weep for the neighbors for an hour (maybe) if they offer and the offer is good enough, we'll take it. The cool thing about this all is seeing that our faith is true and strong and we know what we know, believe what we believe and hope that we can continue to be worthy of the blessings we are receiving.
I went to the New Haven First Ward today (LDS Ward) and the people are rather nice. I had more people introduce themselves on the first day than occured in all of our Utah wards combined. It is a young and transient ward, which I know Liz will love. I think Dennis will mesh right into the primary here as well should we land a home or a rental in this area.
This is a big jump, and I am feeling so calm and collected about all this. I should be nervous, and anxious, but I feel like a young teen lad again traveling to a soccer tournament or high school baseball game that I had a starting assignment in. A few butterflies but nothing out of the norm. I do miss Liz and Dennis a lot more than I have ever missed anything else. I am not home sick rather it is person sick. i am grateful to the long Christmas holiday I will have and hope that we can do our moving during that time.
If things work out, I'll fly back on December 24 or 25th, then drive us back for Jan 2 or Jan 5. I will request to have that Friday off so that I can have the weekend to move as well just in case or be able to tangle a standby back to CT.
So that's the update. Wish me and Liz well. Keep us in your hearts and prayers, and let's hope our house sells prior to Christmas. That would be the best Christmas present Liz and I could have, We'll still give Dennis a real Christmas, don't worry.
Cheers and Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.......
