I spoke with my adviser

WALES IS ON.

Lampeter, you better watch out, because I am coming.

The next few months are going to be INTENSE as Adam and I scramble to come up with several thousand more dollars and budget so tightly that we're only eating toast for two months. I foresee some confusion and nail biting, but I believe this is happening.

My adviser was so encouraging and enthusiastic. She even feels confident that Adam will be able to find a job.

Wales, here we come!

Yay!!! (though I'm secretly a little sad because I had dreams of you coming to the commune)

Well, I won't be writing my dissertation forever..... (god willing!)

Good news, and having lived on a shoestring for the last three years, you can probably do a lot better than toast... beans on toast and there's always the nanny if things get really tight :p

but if I can have my black cloud moment; the second half of the penultimate line. I wonder if she wasn't just saying what you wanted to hear :-/ Unless she has something in mind herself.

Dude, I'm gonna make my way to Lampeter just so I can kick you in the shins. QUIT TELLING ME ADAM ISN'T GOING TO FIND WORK.

Ahem.

I know it's going to be hard. Yes, I do. I harbor no illusions here. I read the goddammed Economist. I do not live under a rock. I am also aware that we are insane for making this move.

Also, I would not yoke myself to an adviser that told me what I wanted to hear.

What I say has nothing to do with the current economy and everything to do with what I went through with Mary. I shouldn't be beating you around the head with my baggage but that was a person with two masters degrees and a buckets worth of experience engaged to a British national. That was before they tightened the rules.


I'm sorry, I should have just laid that down at the beginning rather than just being the niggling lil' devil sitting on your shoulder.

My shins await your landing ;)

It's going to be hard. But we're up for it.

What's hard is that the first question every one has asked has been "What will Adam do for work?" BEFORE asking why or saying "Wow, how neat!" or anything.

Will you even be in Lampeter this fall?

I have very good feelings about this for you. I'm so happy things are looking positive!

I'm glad some one else is getting good vibes for us! I do too. There are these large obstacles - visas and money and cats - oh my! And yet.... I really feel like this is the next step for us.

And then maybe Alaska?
