A change is a 'comin

You guys, things are getting all kinds of crazy up in here. As you can see from the multitude of flags on the map below, Joel has applied to a ton of faculty positions (upwards of 30) and they are scattered across the country. The phone interviews are beginning.. I can hardly believe it. It is a most surreal feeling. We're really here.. after 5 years of post-grad.. we're really here?! I am filled with hope and excitement {and a little bit of fear} for the future, wherever it may lead {literally}. And happy I get to share this journey with you guys! I am so grateful for you all, for your encouragement, your inspiration, your affirmation (oh no, I'm already getting sentimental). I'm hopeful that wherever Joel and I end up, I will already have a friend there (one {or some} of you)! Still have some time before our destination is determined, but you better believe I'll be letting you guys in on it straightaway.
