Prairie has all of the details <a href=\"http:\/\/domesticism.blogspot.com\/2007\/12\/early-christmas.html\" title=\"Domesticism: Early Christmas\">over on Domesticism, but in her own words<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  &#8230;and as of about 12:15 this afternoon, I&#8217;m the new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cwu.edu\/desmoines\/\" title=\"CWU-Des Moines\">CWU Des Moines<\/a> writing consultant. I&#8217;m THE person to go to with writing questions on that little campus. It&#8217;s my job to get this new writing center off the ground and flying. I&#8217;ll be the entire writing center for the first few quarters, but as the center grows I&#8217;ll be training new tutors to help me. I can&#8217;t even begin to try to explain how ecstatic and excited I am (or how close to being in complete shock).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I am <em>so<\/em> happy for my girl, and we&#8217;re both really excited about this opportunity. She&#8217;s just finished calling all of her family to let them know, so now it&#8217;s all official!<\/p>\n<p>The current future plan, then, is for us to kick around here in North Seattle for the next six months or so until I get my AA in June. Once I&#8217;ve graduated, we&#8217;ll move down to the South Seattle area, and I&#8217;ll commute to UW (or wherever I end up) instead of making Prairie commute from North Seattle to Des Moines any longer than absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n<p>(On that note: any local Seattleites who can give us any sorts of tips or pointers about good towns, districts, or neighborhoods in the general Des Moines area, we&#8217;d <em>really<\/em> appreciate it over the next few months. Best case scenario, we&#8217;re hoping to be able to find a little house that we could rent, to avoid the neighbors-stomping-on-our-heads and other side effects of apartment living.)<\/p>\n<p>So there&#8217;s the big news. Hooray, and <em>many<\/em> congratulations to my girl!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I briefly hinted at earlier today, Christmas came a little early for us this year.
