Yes! I'm moving! I was super nervous today because I made today the day that I told my boss. Now, I'm super relieved and happy. I'm quitting my job end of November, followed by 2 weeks of traveling the south island of NZ with Aaron and his friend's wedding, Christmas in the Northwest and awaiting my sister's baby in Jan. Tentative move month is late Jan- early Feb. SO, *breath*
It was incredibly difficult for me to go tell my boss. I walked in and said "Can I talk to you for a bit?" which unraveled so quickly that I am sure he knew what was coming before I even said anything. Despite my ranting about work at times, my boss is truly a lovely man. He is understanding and sees the big picture. I cried in his office (so lame! but oh so true) when I told him how after my aunt's passing, I felt how short life really is. This is true although I have been thinking about the move for more than 6 months now. It's just time that Az and I enjoy our selves and cut this long distance relationship so that we get to wake up next to each other every day.
My boss stood up and gave me a hug, offered me a job for whenever I want to come back to Portland which is really sweet of him. His words are comforting and it makes me feel good that I he understands and supports my move.
So its a tonne of weight off my shoulders and it's time to start looking for jobs in Australia!
I wore these socks today, they are cute.

Wow, congrats on the move! I made a similar leap about a year ago (Texas to Hong Kong) and it was tough, but I'm so happy I did. So happy for you!
Wow, that's huge! Congrats on the move, and best of luck. Hopefully we'll see you again before you move.

Huzzah! Good luck to you and Aaron. This is big stuff! The good thing about science is that it can take you basically anywhere. Hope it all works out well :)
