And now it looks like this...!
Hello Charleston, South Carolina!
Jason accepted a job on Monday to work with Google on a two year fellowship near Charleston, South Carolina. It's really about 30 minutes outside Charleston but hey. We are so excited! They need him down there in a little over two weeks which means we are leaving Boston next week :( Then we get to jump in the madness of finding housing and flying to Utah to get our stuff that's still out there. Talk about going somewhere completely opposite from Cambridge, MA. First of all it's a confederate state and the first state that left the Union which is kind of the exact opposite of here. I'm a history nerd so I pay attention to that kind of stuff. We're excited though to experience the southern hospitality and southern plantations and beaches. Apparently it's easy driving there and a lot more small town but still quaint and historic. We sure will miss walking to work and all the quirks in Cambridge though. We are so excited for the adventure, South Carolina here we come!
LOVE IT! Congratulations, guys! Please stay and raise all your children with a southern accent so they can call me ma'am.
ReplyDeleteWHAT BETH SAID!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I've heard Charleston is a great place to be. I'm so happy that things are working out for you two so well. Good luck finding a place to live, and call me if you get stressed :)
ReplyDeleteWow congratulations!! I am so excited you guys picked a place, and Charleston sounds awesome! I can't believe you will be leaving so soon though :*( We will miss you but are excited for your new adventure! Can I come help pack/clean before you go? ~Rachael
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am excited I found your blog, I love keeping up with people through blogs :)
Way to go! My sister lived in Mississippi for about four years, and - though she was VERY apprehensive at first - she and her whole family loved it, and consider it a major blessing in their lives.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best - good luck, and enjoy it!
Congratulations both of you! BTDubs, if you are coming to Utah can we PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE WITH CHERRIES ON TOP, have a get together? I know you will probably be very busy, but guess what, the Holloway's are great a packing and helping people move.
ReplyDeleteIt's true--Alex is amazing at packing and helping people move. She fit *all* our kitchen stuff in a Honda Accord trunk. Miracle.
ReplyDeleteBut that's so exciting!!! Charleston SC!! I think you were meant to be a southern girl, Natalie. If anything takes you through VA, stay with us for a day!! Huzzah for a fun new chapter for you and Jason!! Yay!! Love you!
Natalie! I'm so happy for you two, and what Alex said I second. Let me know when you're in town, maybe we can have a lunch date with the girls. If that doesn't stress you out too much! Woot Woot!
