One of the most nerve racking things about moving to Pittsburgh is the fact that we do not know the city. There are always questions as to where we should try and live, what banks exist (from our brief visit in April, it is clear that Wachovia -- our bank -- is does not!), etc. etc. etc. I have been in touch with some future classmates, as has Jordan, and we have received some very detailed and helpful information.
So far, we have narrowed down our living options to a few reputable management companies and their properties that are located in the right parts of town. We will visit each of these when we go to Pittsburgh in June (a trip that I just booked this morning). Hopefully, after this visit -- June 7 to June 9 -- we will understand the lay of the land a little better and we will have selected an apartment. I have been working on getting moving quotes and I have my choices narrowed down to two companies. In addition, we would like a more reliable car before we move away -- Jordan is spending his post-Master's time researching just the right car.
There is so much to do between now and late July that I have decided to end my employment with Banta Immigration Law earlier than planned. My last day will be May 29. It will certainly be strange, as I have spent 24 of the past 36 months working here. Truthfully, both the company and I have been lucky with our arangement -- when they needed an extra body they could call me and when I needed employment I could call them. Perhaps it is best for both parties that this crutch will be removed :)
Jordan and I are headed to Savannah/Hilton Head for Memorial Weekend. Jordan's Mema turns 80 this month, so the first port-of-call is Savannah, where there will be a big family celebration. Then we will be in Hilton Head with Jordan's immediate family until Monday (I have to work on Tuesday).
Have a safe and relaxing Memorial Weekend!
Love,
Sarah
