What to do and where to go...

Hello all. Welcome to the first installment on the first official Garrett family posting. I have to say, I'm not really sure how this whole blog stuff goes, but I'm willing to give it a go. I've seen a lot of Facebook people with their own page and it has been fun seeing what everyone has been up to over the years and many with their own blogspot. I figured - we're interesting people - why not create our own.

The latest:

Zach and I have been in deep conversation lately about where to go next year. As most of you know, Zachary is finishing up his microbiology degree in May 2009 and our family will be making tremendous moves and life changes as a result. You would think that having the world at your fingertips would be exciting and easy, but it turns out it's far more confusing and complex than anything I have dealt with in a long time. The two of us have aspirations to move away from SC to experience a new place with exciting places and veggie friendly restaurants. :) The problem: leaving family and friends behind while moving somewhere that is not only awesome, but very expensive! I can handle the cost but leaving friends and family is very difficult as 99% of our loved ones are within 20 minutes to 3 hours away. Time will tell...

We have been tossing around the idea to establish ourselves up north - where the winters are beastly but the summer coastlines are gorgeous and the beer is fabulous. It'll be a change, but we will see what happens. For now - Christina is still looking for work and finishing her MBA and Zach has his final semester. We are looking forward to having Christmas with the family next week and catching up with friends from high school and college over the break.
