That is when we finally made our decision of what we are going to do.
Reference information.
Bob interviewed with the Immunology Department at the UofM. His interview went well and he was told that he was on the short list of candidates. He found out that he didn't get the job, another candidate did.
Bob had a great time interviewing in Colorado. They really liked him. They did end up giving him an offer. It was competitive to Pfizer's offer. So, that is what we have been mulling over as of late. Do we go to Colorado or Connecticut? Each location has their positive and negative points. Last night we charted out the pros and cons and made a visual chart. After some further investigation, we made up our mind.
We are moving to Connecticut. We are not sure of exactly WHEN we will be headed out east, but we are hoping it will be in September sometime. The house we are putting a contract on is a new build, so it won't be ready until September and we really do not want to have to move twice or even have to live in an apartment until it is ready. But we will work that out when the time comes. Bob is working on a couple of high profile projects that they actually want to finish up in Ann Arbor, so it is a good possibility that we won't have to move until then. Watch, me saying that, and something freaky will happen like some one will want to buy our house and be in it by June. Who am I kidding? But it would be just our luck.
Our goal, however, is stay here for as long as possible. We will keep updating this site as soon as we get more information, pictures, etc.
The Pfizer campus is located in Groton, CT, but we will be living in a town called East Lyme. It is about 15 minutes from Bob's work. They have a great Library and a very active Parks & Recreation department - they offer fencing classes - how cool is that?
This has been one of the hardest decisions we have had to make and it has definitely been an agonizing 2 months (it feels much longer than that). We are extremely grateful for all of our supportive friends and family. And now everyone will have an excuse to come visit us out east. We will have plenty of room, so come on out, we would love to have you. :)
