Have been going absolutely crazy lately taking pictures. However, haven’t had the chance to share them with our FSI readers. So here’s some photos from Tiffany’s homecoming lunch — yup, she got a one-way ticket back to America! And the other slideshow is from the Petrella Family Easter Extravaganza — in Mrs. Petrella’s new home!

We’re heading into the nitty-gritty of preparing to move even though we’re not going to be gone until July. Along the way, we’re setting up appointments for moving companies, prepping some items to sell (washer/dryer, a car, and TV), and doing some general house-keeping around here. We think we’ve found a place to live, but today I came across this little gem of a place in Seattle. Our very own hobbit house.

Some exciting news has taken place here at FSI headquarters of the past few weeks. This June/July we’re packing up and moving to Seattle. Dun, dun, dun! Unlike last summer in San Francisco, this will be an extended stay as I settle into my first full-time job post grad school. As for the position, I simply couldn’t be happier — I’ll be an Interaction Designer for Google. It truly is a dream job for where my interests are and what I want to do for a living. Lauren and I both feel pretty great about this decision, yet the hard part will obviously be leaving everything we’ve known and appreciated here for well… oh, our entire lives so far. :(

As of last weekend I’ve officially accepted the job, and this weekend we’re off to visit the area for the first time, complete with an arranged housing tour and a dinner with the future co-workers. Everyone up there has been overwhelmingly welcoming, and I’ve already worked with a few of them from this past summer.

Below is a box of swag they sent along (as if we didn’t have enough already) and a picture of me signing the documents to make it official.

Logos everywhere!
