Ch-ch-changes...

Yeah, there are a lot of those going on around here. First, have left Limbo-land, and plan on being permanent residents of San Diego. Chris is loving his new job and the career opportunities there. Although we are remaining in San Diego, we will be moving within the area again (because 5 times in 6 1/2 years wasn't enough), because starting this fall our family will be bigger by 1. (And not because Nick will need a break from Russian winters.) We are expecting our first child to arrive around November 3, and are super excited!

Hooray for Sunshine Dollars!

Why you ask? Because that is what our currency will continue to be. After a year of searching, applying, flying, interviewing, wondering, praying and a lot of waiting, Chris has now embarked on an amazing career here in sunny San Diego. He started with a company called Illumina on Monday, and has loved every minute so far. So for all of you who never made it out (or didn't come often enough) we'll still be here when you finally decide to come see why we love it so much. Of course, because we get paid in sunshine dollars, (and landlords like real dollars) accommodations may be tight/limited, but we'd love to see you!
