A Change of Plans and cs.byu.edu

Well, many of you already know this, but for those who don't.... are you ready for the big news?  We're moving to Boston!  Just a tad different than Boise, huh? As you can imagine, things have been a little crazy around here trying to decide what the heck we are doing with our lives.  The last month has been a whirlwind trying to see if we could hurry and get an offer before we had to move.  We still had the job at HP, but as Scott got further into his master's he discovered that he really enjoyed doing research as well as software development.  He interviewed out in Boston at MIT Lincoln Labs, and it seems like a good fit.  We just officially decided this week, and we leave here two weeks from yesterday!  So we're trying to figure out airline tickets, moving companies, moving our car, hotels, etc, but we're excited! Never a dull moment.

Oh, and if Scott hasn't been busy enough interviewing and accepting jobs, you should see what he's been doing in his free time.  Check out cs.byu.edu.  And I'll just put up a screenshot too...

What a guy!  Oh, and yes, you noticed correctly.  He's defending his thesis three days before we move.  :)  Wish him luck!

  2. Wow is right! Hope the next couple weeks go smoothly with everything. We'll be thinking about Scott! Be sure to pass on your new address once you're settled :-D

  3. Hooray! I'm proud of Scottie. What a smart, capable cousin I have. I bet your parents are thrilled and his a little less so.

  4. That's crazy, but I'm super glad you guys will be heading to the east coast. You know, we'd love to visit Boston some time!

    Good luck with everything.

  6. Congratulations! I remember when that thesis was just a twinkle in Scott's eye, back in the Home Teaching days.
    We're glad you're coming back east too! Seems like a Hardie-Marshall-Robertson party is in order.

  8. Hooray for coming back East! I'm sure your parents love that it will be a drive rather than a flight to see you! Congratulations!!
