Before the interviews
After the interviews
So 2 weeks ago Lance and I ventured off to Redlands, CA for an interview Lance had with a company called Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). We were both very excited to get away for a weekend and think of possible employment for after graduation (something we thought may never come). We got in Thursday evening with enough time to drive around, get settled into the hotel, get an introduction to El Pollo Loco, and watch the Office. Lance left Friday morning around 8:15 to meet the HR guy to start his day of interviews. Lance had no idea what he had gotten himself into. He had 13 interviews at about 45 minutes each, no breaks in between either. It was pretty intense, so when he came home around 7 that night he was beat. Lucky for me he was too tired to decide on a restraunt and just wanted to go to the closest place, so we got Thai food (which I had been craving all day because I had seen a lot of Thai restraunts around town). The next day we got to see some friends and family and were able to relax. About five days later ESRI called Lance with an offer. We couldn't believe it! It is so weird because even though we both said we would move anywhere we always thought we'd back in Virginia or near there. I think my mom was thinking the same thing too. We accepted the offer and are very excited to move to Redlands, CA. It would have been nice to move to VA to be close to family, but we are ready for an adventure in sunny CA. It is a beautiful city and can't wait for everyone to come visit us there.

Congratulations!!! What an exciting adventure you are about to begin! We were wishing for another state starting with "C" but I guess California is okay too. :) We love you guys!
Congratulations on the new job!! That is so exciting and we are happy to be keeping you in the West, even though it is as far west as you can be and not be wet. Jessica, I am sure your snowboarding skills can easily transfer to surfing. I have no doubt you will try it!
