Hello!

First, I would like to thank you for visiting my new blog! There's not much here right now, but I hope to change that in the future.

To start things off, my name is Nichole. The boy and I are originally from Central Pennsylvania (which means we're not from Philly OR Pittsburgh). We met 10 - almost 11 - years ago when we both worked at Hersheypark. When he graduated college, he went off to Arizona for grad school. I stayed behind in PA for a couple years before we both realized how miserable we were with only seeing each other for a couple days every three months. So I ended up moving out to Arizona where we currently reside.

A little more about ourselves? We're big Philadelphia Phillies fans (don't get me started on Jimmy Rollins...he's my boy!). We own two cats - Chase and Nova. We love to read (I'm currently reading The Day of the Triffids & True Grit) and watch movies. The Boy loves to garden and all things nature. We like to hike and be outdoors.

This blog, I guess, will be about my/our adventures as we navigate the crazy world of academia. The Boy is almost done with grad school (he's so excited) and the next chapter of our adventure will be starting. The uncertainty of where we'll be heading next is both frustrating and exciting for us. Where will we end up next? Only time will tell.
