Winter turned to spring, and now summer is here. From snow-sports watching at Hunter Mountain in upstate New York to welcoming spring in Newport , Rhode Island , we've seen the seasons fly by so fast. So we thought it's about time to send you another update.
We have big news!
Rex and I are about to open a new and exciting chapter in our married life. We are leaving the bright lights of New York City to move to the US capital, Washington D.C.
After weeks of deliberating between great job offers, Rex has finally accepted a strategy position at a technology & media giant. He'll be working on strategy, new initiatives, international projects, etc. It is exactly the role Rex wants after business school -- it builds on his passion for technology & new ventures, it suits his experience perfectly, and it will contribute hugely to his ultimate goal of working in Venture Capital. We are extremely happy that he will finally get to put his multi-year, post-graduate, double-degree investment to good use ;-)
It was a difficult decision for us to make because moving to D.C. also meant that I had to give up my Global Knowledge Manager position since the job requires a NY-based person. Although they are sad I am leaving, they are happy that Rex has a job, and they have offered to welcome me back anytime. I will be working through August, though, until they find my replacement. After that, I'll have the luxury of time to think about my next move. Getting a graduate degree in the US sounds like a good idea we'll see. Very exciting indeed!
Rex and I will truly miss the Big Apple. It will always have a special place in our hearts because it's where we became truly independent, where we got engaged, and where we spent the first year of our married life. We love New York!
It's a good thing D.C. is just a few hours away and we can always the spend the weekend eating at our favorite digs, picnicking at Central Park, cooking in or playing mahjong with friends, and enjoying the many things New York has to offer for frequent visitors like us.
We hope that your half-year has been filled with many blessings, and we hope that the next months will bring you even more!
