swan_towerDespite the best efforts of our east-coast friends (and they *were* good efforts, believe me), the decision is done: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kniedzw and I will be heading west. He's accepted a job offer from Akamai's San Mateo office.
Timetable is still fuzzy. His work starts June 16th, but I won't be following until (probably) August, along with all our stuff. Yes, this means moving in the middle of writing a book. On the bright side, Akamai is helping out with moving expenses, which means that for the first time in my life I can pay somebody else to do the heavy lifting. This makes me happier than I can say.
And I'm going to live in California! I confess that one thing which swung me toward the west coast was looking at the area in the satellite view of Google Maps; seeing San Mateo nestled between the blue of the water and the thick green belt of the hills made my heart sing. Nature! A bike ride away!kurayami_hime has been waxing poetic about the eucalyptus forests, and I'll get to see them for myself. And redwoods! I adores me some redwoods.
It'll be a new experience for us both. We won't necessarily stay there forever, but I'm glad we'll be staying there for a while.

[1] Because I don't have an external window, for one thing. Argh!
[2] I might be able to see it when I start my new job a week from Monday. I don't know where I'll be sitting yet or if I get a window there either.
