In which things finally fall together...

Well, it's official...

Congrats.

I'll see you when you're a guest at Orycon, okay? Shouldn't be too long, by my watch.

Congrats! You have to come back and visit!

You rock. Will miss you. I'll have to visit malls in Massachusetts so that I'll run into you.

Yeah, I'm going to have to echo you on that one.

We hardly got to hang out at all, but I enjoyed the time we had. ;-)

Congrats?

Yeah...I gotta second that whole thing...and I have much less of an excuse than yourself, since I've known her for years! -_-

I'm glad that it's all worked out for you, but I'm bummed that you're moving.

[livejournal.com profile] svaha and I will definitely come down and visit before you move.

Wow!

Hey good luck! Keep in touch :) just keep posting. keep writing and we'll have to do something to whitewolf for not printing books anymore.

So if the move is June 24-July 1, you need to have 2 things before then:
1) Packing help
2) Moving party

When would you like these to happen?

I'm utterly brokenhearted, but happy for you guys. You will be *missed.*

[identity profile] jesshartley.livejournal.com 2005-04-20 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Not sure, quite yet. We're going to have a huge garage sale next month some time (getting rid of most of our stuff) and then another small one right before we go. Packing and moving is going to be kept to a minimum, we're not going to take anything that we don't love with us. TVs, furniture, etc will all be replaced when we get out there. So, helping advertise the garage sale (not to mention folks coming to buy stuff) is one of the biggest helps we will need. Also, once the realtor is chosen, we're going to have them tell us what needs to be done to bring the house up to "Designed To Sell" status. So, we might end up having a painting party, or yard-work party on a last minute notice... That might be where we end up needing extra hands.

*hugs*

We'll have to do a "last bash" at Embers before we go! :)

[identity profile] jesshartley.livejournal.com 2005-04-20 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
We'd love that.

Definately congrats. Pat will be the new Director of Technology for HEC (Hampshire Educational Collaborative). It's a big jump, career wise (although the pay doesn't really reflect it as much as we'd like.) But their benefits package gets progressively better over time (after 5 years, they are paying 75% of the insurance premiums, etc) and they have a regular annual performance raise, rather than the "Twice in ten years, once when we had to actually quit to get more money" that he's got at the school district here.

And Northampton is a fabulous little town, a Mecca of culture and yet quaint and rural. And, apparently they have a gay nightclub that becomes a Goth club on Tuesday nights... Sound like anywhere we know? :)

The closest airport is in Hartford, but there's no (that I could find) direct flights there. One of the main connecting flights is Minneapolis/St. Paul. Which, as I'm sure you're aware, is the home of the Mall of the Americas.

I hear they have a Hot Topic.

I'll see you in a couple of months. :)

[identity profile] passionandsoul.livejournal.com 2005-04-20 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Cool- let us know as soon as you do on dates for all of the above so we can advertise like fiends and lend hands!

[identity profile] jesshartley.livejournal.com 2005-04-20 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Or you could come out to see us! :) I hear that area has some rather impressive historic/political sites!

[identity profile] jesshartley.livejournal.com 2005-04-20 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Gosh, I hope so. We'll see if I ever get this damned book finished. :)

Thank you, dear!

*hug* I know. I'll miss you too.

[identity profile] jesshartley.livejournal.com 2005-04-20 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll have to do coffee or something before I go.

[identity profile] jesshartley.livejournal.com 2005-04-20 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it was soo cool to have met you, though! Maybe we can squeeze in another exalted game before I go.

Re: Fare thee very well

[identity profile] jesshartley.livejournal.com 2005-04-20 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe we can get one more in before the move. No promises, though... 10 weeks to get things done here and out there is not much time.

Thank you, for the good wishes.

I'll miss you too.

We're meeting with Themselves early next week to hash out SCA details. *hug* Thanks for everything.
