Big news!

[draconis]

I know that lately I've asked various of you for good vibes, etc. without specifying why. Well, now things are to a point where I can specify.

GryphonRhi and I have a contract on a house in Memphis, and will be moving next month!

I will still have the same job for the same company in Nashville. However, insted of going in to sit in a cubicle in their building every day, I'll be working remotely from our new home in Memphis.

Needless to say, things are going to be a little hectic for a while, but things have progressed to the point where we felt we could let people know.

To all those who've sent good vibes, flogged the sacramental hamsters, spun the prayer wheels, etc. -- thank you!!!

Congratulations! Whoo hoo!!!

Thanks! It only took a year and a half of pestering management to get it to happen!

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Mal's turning into a very pretty boy -- congrats to you, too!

(sacramental hamsters?)

Thanks!

And yes, sacramental hamsters, on their little Prayer Wheel exercise wheels. ::G::

On the one hand: Congrats!

On the other -- Memphis is farther away, boo-hoo! (Not that I've taken advantage of being in the next city over from you in the last two years, but still...darn.)

Hey, have you'n'Rhi had a chance to sit down together and see "Blink" yet? It's gonna be coming up on the SciFi channel in a few weeks anyway, but, that's at night. Trust me -- you don't wanna watch it at night.

Hey, you've still got about a month before we're scheduled to depart. When are you gonna head this way?

(Pay no attention to those stacks of empty boxes waiting to be filled. I wouldn't point you at books to put into boxes, really! ::G::)

[kickair8p.livejournal.com]

Define "about a month" -- the DW ep "Blink" airs on SciFi on Friday 9/07/2007, it'll be a lot easier to watch than what I sent Rhi. I'm not sure I can get to your place by the time it's on, but you're better off taping it and watching it in the morning -- much safer that way.

I can fill boxes. But if you hand me books, I can't be held responsible for my actions!

Congrats! I'd wondered if y'all were planning on moving back. Hope this one's not haunted like the last one was! :-)

Oh, I don't know -- the other one wasn't bad, once we came to an arrangement with the "previous tenant."

Once they stopped turning on the faucet in the kitchen, it got a lot better. And at least they'd turn it off again!

For those who don't know what we're talking about, the last house that GryphonRhi and I had... had never been completely vacated by one of the previous tenants. Periodically, we would hear footsteps go through the dining room to the kitchen, the kitchen faucet would turn on (pretty close to full-blast), run for a few seconds, then turn off again.

After one of these episodes, GryphonRhi just looked up and said, "Will you PLEASE stop doing that???"

And they did. To the best of my recollection, it never happened again.

So... slightly annoying, but certainly better than many other "house spirits" I know of!

wahoo!!! The hamsters -will- be pleased to get off of the prayer wheel....

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

TYK!

Let me know what kind of hamster treats they prefer -- they earned 'em! ::G::

[miintikwa.livejournal.com]

WOOT! Congrats! :D

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Can you tell we're excited? ::G::

[laure-nar.livejournal.com]

WooHoo!!!! that's fantastic. Now a second reason to go to Memphis on a road trip. grin.

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

you betcha -- just give us enough time to get the guest room set up, or you may get put to work *un*packing boxes! LOL

[irishkate.livejournal.com]

So thrilled for you both I'm not sure what to say. I thought it might be job related and might have you move back to memphis but didn't want to *think* about it in case it got jinxed.

Look forward to hearing how you are both happy in new house.

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You'll have to come visit again, so you can see the new house! 8-)

And I know what you mean about not jinxing things. I've been hoarding boxes from work for a month now (I'm up to ~40 now) but haven't put a single thing into any of them yet, precisely because I didn't want to jinx things.

[saxononyx.livejournal.com]

Nooooo! who will make it worth coming to work now?

Congrats, I know you have wanted this for some time.

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, with K and me both gone, you're running out of fun people to talk to! 8-(

And thanks -- I got the distinct impression that my old manager was never going to go for this, but the new one seemed amenable right from the start. Yay!

[unmisha.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! Congrats hon!

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Sounds like you're having your own fun, getting things dealt with for your condo. I hope that goes well!
