2010 has been a year filled with change and unforgettable events. Micah started the year with a job offer from Sandia National Labs in January. It took us a few months to weigh our options and decide what was the right decision for us, but we eventually decided we would make the move to ABQ in the fall when Micah finished his PhD. While Micah tirelessly worked on his research and writing, I spent the spring and summer preparing to sell our house, going through the process of selling the house, interviewing and getting a job at UNM, planning our move, planning a trip to Europe (which we decided not to do since the India option came up) and helping our friends plan our trip to India.
Amazingly, even though the year was incredibly busy getting ready for our move, we also took a lot of trips in 2010. In January Micah went to Orlando for a conference, in January we also went to Phoenix for my marathon, in February we went to San Diego for a job interview for Micah, in April I went to Holland for a long weekend, in May we went on a cruise with my family, in September I went back to Holland for two full weeks, in October we went to India for two weeks, we stopped in Holland on our way back from India, we made a last minute trip to Michigan for Micah's grandmother's funeral at the end of October and we made it back to Colorado for Christmas.
We were looking forward to our move to ABQ since we decided to move here last spring, and overall our move to has gone well. We found a great house to rent in Nob Hill, the neighborhood we had our eye on before moving here, and we are enjoying living so close to many shops and restaurants. We are both enjoying our jobs and we have begun meeting new friends. We are also having fun figuring out where we will buy a house in ABQ.
2010 was a great year and we are looking forward to new adventures in ABQ in 2011!
