We're moving to Bethlehem!


Bethlehem, Pennsylvania that is. Dave accepted an offer as a tenure track professor at Lehigh University yesterday! Even though this job moves us even farther away from our families we feel really good about it and are very excited to have a job! Lehigh is a small, private University with a top ranked Business Program and Dave will have some really good students to teach and work with. We have been online trying to learn more about the area and have talked to some church members who live there. We are excited for this new adventure. We want to take advantage of being so close to so many fun places and explore while we are there. We will be close to NYC, Washington DC, and Philadelphia and I am really excited to explore those cities and visit all the amazing historical areas that the East has to offer. So if any of you find yourselves on the East Coast - give us a call! We want visitors!

Ron had a mini interview with them at the Accounting conference last August and so we had looked it up a little bit and saw how close it would be to great places. That is sooo awesome and I bet you are happy you do not have to go through this again next year. I have asked Ron for a few days if he has heard anything from Dave, so I am glad you posted something. Congrats, that's great! Do you know any details, on when you are moving, etc, and house hunting? I know it just happened, but...
