we're moving to california!
• 42 comments •
Back in December, Alex was flown to California for interviews (and sightseeing) and was offered a job in San Francisco! We're so excited and I'm extremely proud of him and am constantly in awe of the enthusiasm he has for his work.
We've been sitting on this info. for so long and are thrilled to finally share it. Because we learned about this at the beginning of the season, I completely skipped my predictably dour winter mood and have just enjoyed (my possibly last!) winter. It's also why I kinda abandoned most social media... gotta get as many hugs as I can before Alex leaves (in two weeks). We're going to be apart for awhile, which is going to be rough. I have some obligations in Montreal and need to start thinking about selling our home before scheduling the movers. My plans are still up in the air but I may be going back and forth until 2014.
We don't know many people in SF; send me an email if you live in the area! - Mina

ReplyDeleteCongrats Mina! California is great, especially Northern. My husband grew up there and loved it.
ReplyDeleteSo excited to see all the new adventures you post about there :)
How exciting!! :-) I have a girlfriend that's just getting ready to move out to California too!!..."Go West Young Man"...and women!! ^_^ It'll be really tough being NOT in Cali for a while, though, huh?!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's huge news! How exciting. I've loved seeing Montreal from your perspective, can't wait to get a new look at SF as well. Congratulations and welcome to the States!
ReplyDeleteSuch exciting news! Having gone to school in Montreal I feel your joy at the thought of moving away from the snow! I'm sure sunny California will be treating you well :) What a fantastic opportunity! xo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you and Alex! San Francisco is a beautiful city! I'm sure you will enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such exciting and great news! Congratulations!
ReplyDeletexo, Maria
how exciting! I would love to move back up to the Bay. SF is such a lovely place to live! congrats to Alex!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, welcome welcome welcome! And congratulations! I moved here for school two years ago and have fallen so deeply in love with the Bay Area - will definitely e-mail you with restaurant recommendations and the like! :)
ReplyDeleteRats! I just moved back to the Midwest after spending two years in Reno - only 3-4 hours from SF so I spent a lot of time there. You're going to love it. Make sure you spend some time at Tahoe, too.
ReplyDeleteHusband is in SF for work this week and I'm so incredibly jealous... We're moving too.. We're heading to Edmonton this Summer, not quite as exciting as SFO, I have to say. But it's a change, and an adventure, I'm always up for those.
ReplyDeleteI'm really happy for you two <3
Great to hear from you after such a long time! Great pictures!(as usual)

Congrats and welcome!! We live three hours south on the Central Coast and love it so much!! I moved several months before my partner and it was pretty rough - but now everything is fabulous!!
ReplyDeletethis is so exciting! san francisco is one of my favorite cities, and all i craved whilst pregnant was a salty bowl of clam chowder in a bread bowl from fisherman's wharf (but sadly, shellfish wasn't on the menu for me). enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!!!! Super de duper congrats!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so excited for you!!! This is the best news!!! I adore San Francisco and would love to live there! It's probably my favorite US city. We might be able to hang out in real life after all, because we will live somewhere in the west (not Utah/more like CA, WA, or OR).
ReplyDeleteThat is so exciting!! Congrats you guys!!
ReplyDeleteI have lived in California for a year when I was 16 and I loved loved loved it! Would move back in a heartbeat!! AND I am so looking forward to see all those beautiful places through your lense!!
