2007 June Archive at The Parkers

So we arrived in Austin a little over a week ago. The apartment, which we signed a lease for sight-unseen, exceeded our expectations and would have been totally unaffordable in Denver. Our stuff arrived a few days after we did and we are now working to unpack and organize all of it. This is one of my least favorite parts of moving.

I will be starting my new job as a web software developer for Small World Labs this coming Monday. This an exciting new career path in IT for me and I can’t wait to start work. I am still planning to pursue ordination, but this will be an interesting career to pursue in parallel.

Katie has some interesting job prospects coming up. We are also still looking for a preschool/daycare facility for Norah. So, we are getting settled. This move has been quite the undertaking and I am not looking forward to doing it again any time soon.

If you want our new contact information, send us a note through the contact form on this site.

It is the beginning of the end. Yesterday was my last day to work at Iliff (Iliff School of Theology). I have certainly enjoyed my time there. I studied and worked in that community for the better part of six years. It is going to be more difficult to leave than I thought. There are many people there who have touched my life and taught me a lot both in the classroom and in the office. So, if any of you are reading this, thank you.

Another step in the moving process is that Norah is now in Houston staying with her Meemaw and Poppy. She and Meemaw will meet us in Austin on Friday. We already miss her, but it will be much easier to pack and do other moving preparations knowing that she is safe, cared for, and entertained.

I hope to have more news on the job front early next week. Until then….
