Big changes are coming for the Battersby's. Colin has accepted a job with Radiant Zemax in Redmond, WA, and we will be moving mid September. We are excited for this new opportunity to be back in the Seattle area (where we met), and closer to our families. Colin's parents will be a 3 hour drive away and my mom and nieces and nephews will be a 6 hour drive.
We have many friends there that we are looking forward to spending time with again after being away for so many years. We've enjoyed the last 10 years on the East Coast (except for all the weather related events that left us without power for weeks at a time!). We will miss our cousins the Jurgies in Vermont, our friends, the Maine coastline, Manchester Monarchs hockey games, and the fall in New England-but the Pacific Northwest has always been "home"-and there's no place like home.
P.S. It's probably only fair to warn those of you in the general vicinity of where we will be living that historic storms and other such "that hasn't happened here in 100 years" events seem to follow us wherever we go, so don't be surprised when Mt. St. Helen's erupts again! :)
