5/22/11

State College- Here we come! After living in Buffalo NY for the past 10 years, it is time for the Ashead's to move on. Richard has been offered a great opportunity working for Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Don't let the word Hershey confuse you, although the main medical center is in Hershey, Richard will be working for the medical centers in State College. His official title is "Lead Support Specialist" I was so excited for him to have this opportunity. He hasn't been happy in his job for awhile here, and has looked elsewhere for a while, but nothing ever came together. This job however seemed to be looking for just what Richard had to offer- and what he would like! Throughout the waiting process- I believe I had my own personal confirmations that this was the right situation for us. (which keeps me sane when I worry about how everything is going to fall into place)
The first day or two I tried to encourage my husband and myself to just be excited and happy and thankful for this opportunity! It is so easy to rush onto all the things we have to worry about and figure out. Anyhow, in the past week or two we have been able to accomplish a lot. Our house is listed to sell and has had a couple of showings; we rented a storage unit to put some of excess stuff in; we did painting and lots and lots of cleaning! Soon we will be going to look at houses in the State College area. Richard is suppose to start work there June 21-I would like the rest of us to be able to join him by mid July or early August.

Lots more to say, but I'm leaving it at this for now.
And so it goes...
