Where is spring?
So... a bunch of things have happened since December!
Marshall turned 9! Longest Birthday celebration ever - this according to Rianne, who always gets uber jealous - started celebrating Tuesday night with Ivy and ended Saturday night with Bama and Papa - interspersed with wonderful cards from Grandmom, Grandpop, Uncle Mark, Uncle Steve, Aunt Joann, Andrew, Alyssa, Uncle John & Aunt Jeannette and even Aunt Joie & Uncle Fitz .
I started my new job as the Web Marketing and Graphic Design Manager for Tender Corp in Littleton at the end of January and so far so good. Dan's doing some short-term work for Garnet Hill and I'm still helping them out some weeknights and Saturday mornings.
Oh, yeah I got locked out of the house last week and Dad drove up all the way from Bradford and rescued me.... we've now separated the house keys. Next on the list - fixing the windshield wipers!
Home in Bethlehem, NH
So, for the first time since I started this blog back in 2005 I'm living in NH. I've decided not to change the name of the URL that gets you here, because my heart (for the time being) is still down there and it helps remind me of all the good PA times we had.
When we moved down to PA in August of 2004 Rianne was entering 1st grade and Marshall was 3 1/2, now we're back in the North Country - Rianne is in 6th grade and Marshall is in 8, almost 9. It was a good 5 years and I'd do it all over again. We'll miss our friends and family in the area, but figure they'll just give us an even bigger excuse to visit the area.
So for now I remain heatherinpa
Moving on, Philadelphia
Well it's my last day working from home in NH and I have to say I'm a little sad. I fly back down to Philadelphia tonight, do one last solo day in the office and then, next week, start training my replacement.
I'm up to my neck in procedural manuals but I'm still going to miss the friends and family in Philadelphia. I know I'll be back, a lot, but it's a small consolation to me right now. At least till the 18th I'm yours.

Wednesdays are great! If everyday could be one day I'd pick Saturday, next would be Sunday and then Friday and then Wednesday. Hmm, guess Wednesdays aren't as great as I thought they were...
Phew* Made it into the office... my feet are a little wet, but I'm warming back up fast.
