Well. I Suppose We Had to Move Sometime...

You may or may not know that Joe applied for a job in Twin Falls Idaho. We all went up with him and after his interview went to lunch with the whole biology department and their families. It was great, they were all GREAT, if he took the job there was also likely an environmental education position for me, Joe would get the teaching experience he wanted, ladaldlada, seemed like a good gig. For a year or two anyway. Right? Apparently we were wrong. Everyone in academia Joe talked to about taking a teaching position at a two year school told him it wasn't a good idea. Sort of like career suicide if your end goal is a tenure position at a University. So, when they called and offered him the job last week he had to decline. He had to decline an actual job, a job that pays you, where you get benefits!

A few days later he got another call about a postdoc position at University of Nevada in Reno. They offered him that position (it's for 1 year). That same day the Department Head of Biology at USU offered him a position at USU teaching Life Sciences. Also a great opportunity.

He's currently trying to figure out how he can do both. Teach at USU this fall to get that experience, and delay the postdoc a few months (i.e. December instead of October).

So, we're moving. To Reno. I'm actually excited for a new adventure. Think of all the cool stuff we are closer too. Like the Redwoods, and the Sierras... This is going to work out just fine.
