January 17th- Jenna gives her 2 weeks' notice. (Complete. Whew. That SUCKED. But it is done. You would think that I was an irreplaceable asset. It was somewhat flattering that they thought the whole department would be pained by my departure, but seriously folks you will find a way to survive. I promise.)
January 19th- Jenna is convinced to stay for 3 weeks instead of 2. (That was NOT a part of the plan. ARG!)
February 4th- Jenna has her exit interview at 9:30 and then the whole Petefish clan will be Indianapolis bound by noon (we really hope that the weather cooperates with this plan.)
February 5th- Arrive in Fishers to our temporary home (Susie's)
February 6th- Jackson will watch his first Super Bowl without Jenna since they met. Where will Jenna be? On a plane to Pittsburgh for a few days of training in Deloitte's office there.
February 7-8th- Jackson hopes to be interviewing with some firms for jobs before returning to his job in Boston. Jenna will be loving life in training without an assigned email account, Blackberry, clients, etc. She may even go to a spa after training just because she can.
February 9th- Jackson is back in Boston and Jenna reports to her first day at Deloitte's Indianapolis office
February 28th- the lease on our apartment in Boston expires and Jackson moves home (this date is subject to change if Jackson hears back from a job sooner than later)
March 1st (or so) the Petefish clan is reunited at Susie's minus Susie who will be in Florida enjoying the warmth for a month.
As soon as Jackson is settled into his new position we intend to make a bid for what we refer to as the "dead man's house." You previously saw a photo of the home with a question about whether living in a house where a man died is creepy. We have decided that he must have been ill and died peacefully at home and it is no longer creepy. We are fairly certain it was not a murder because no amount of Google searching has provided any information to lead us to that belief. We also promised to ourselves that if we get the house we will call it "home" and not "dead man's house." HA! :)
Oh, a little about my new position. I interviewed for a position with a direct competitor of my current firm (PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP or PwC) one level above my current role. I thought it was a long-shot. It probably was. It worked, though. I felt very vindicated after my current boss told me that I wasn't "high enough on the totem pole" and she was sorry for hiring me into the wrong position. Gee, thanks boss. (GRR!) I will still be working with exempt organizations (think hospitals, public university's foundations and especially private universities), but I do not know much else about my new role yet. It is in downtown Indianapolis on the Circle. I will be on the 20th floor of the Chase Tower. (The Chase Tower is the tallest building in Indiana so I'm not going totally away from my big city life. At least that is what I tell myself. A lot.) I really enjoy life as a Big 4 employee and look forward to new challenges. I am excited to really build my career in Indianapolis since that is where we intend to stay until we're older, graying and more ready (financially because I'm ready now!) to retire to Palm Beach. :) I will also be working at my former employer, Bill's, during this individual tax season prepping tax returns to earn additional money to buy the dead man's house! Whew.
I think you're all caught up now. I'm a little tired thinking about all of this. We think it will work out. We're willing it to work out. I won't stop until we're settled into our "forever" lives in Indy surrounded by our families, friends and back at our home church. YAY!
