Jess, and her friend Tim, drove her stuff out here last weekend and we moved her in on Sunday. She has A LOT of stuff. Anyways, we are trying to organize and see where everything is going to fit. It is a little awkward as Tim stayed a week, and is leaving today; Jess has been sleeping on her couch. Tonight she will be able to shuffle around her room a bit, but most importantly, sleep on a bed.
Matt and I have been talking about the UK move pretty much nonstop. He had a meeting, just over a week ago, lasting 3hrs and containing the goals for the coming year. He says they seem pretty optimistic, and maybe not that realistic. Jan has been working for them for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, he has to drive 2.5 hrs each way to work. The drive, along with the unsettling feeling from the meeting, had put doubts in his head. Due to his lack of desire to work at H---- and the fact that him and Lou would have to move, making it a lot more difficult for him to stay on and he is going to quit soon.
We have struggled with this decision for awhile now. It would be a lot easier and less expensive to stay here. On the other hand, we would be embarking on a new adventure if we go. Pros/cons, cons/pros...back and forth for weeks now and we have come up with a step towards a decision. Matt is going to call H---- and tell them that he would like to come out for a couple/few weeks. At that time he can feel out the culture, the work, the area, etc. This time could be a trial for him as well as them, making sure that everyone that is involved is moving towards a direction that will benefit both ends. Matt is going to call them tomorrow and i think they will be up for this without hesitation. I will post more as I know more.
Great update. The times, they are a changin'!
