Not so itinerant after all

When I started this particular blog back in 2011 things were very different for my family.  We lived in Los Alamos, and I had a full-time job as a chemist.  Danny was still finishing up his PhD.  Zoe was only 4!

Now in 2014 we live in Phoenix, Danny has a postdoc at Arizona State University, and I'm the one working from home.  Zoe has been in public school since Kindergarten, and her current school is excellent.  It would take a LOT of adversity for me to take her out of public school and do homeschool.

We were only "supposed" to live in AZ for a couple of years.  Danny's postdoc was funded for 2 years for sure.  Now we have lived in AZ for two+ years, and Danny has an NSF fellowship with another 3 years of funding at ASU.  Hopefully we will be able to stay in AZ until Zoe finishes 5th grade.

I find that time is passing more quickly as I get older.  Summer is half over already, and my kiddo will be in 3rd grade soon!  I know the fall is going to pass quickly.  It seems amazing how different life is now, and yet I often don't even think about it, and I feel the same as I did 10 years ago!  I'm 32 this year!  I'm starting to have trouble recalling my exact age!  I know I'm somewhere in my 30s.  What does it matter?
