Oh Canada!

Well, it seems my time in North Carolina is coming to a close. My fiance, B, has accepted a 3-year postdoctoral position at the University of Calgary in Calgary, AB, and I’ve been job hunting for a while now. I have several job leads and we hope I’ll secure a position in time for us to relocate together at the end of May.
This move is quite bittersweet for me. I’ve spent almost all my adult life in NC, really love it here. I have a great job at Duke University with benefits that are out of this world and almost all of my friends are in NC. Leaving it all is really quite scary when I let myself think about it.
It’s also very exciting! The opportunity to go someplace and start a new life with my sweetie makes my heart race in anticipation! I can’t wait for it! It only took one marriage and 3 long-term relationships, but I’ve finally found the person I’m meant to be with and now I get to travel far away and have a new adventure with her! What a grand idea!

Good luck to y’all. My wife and I moved to Canada for my job three years ago, when I graduated from UNC with my PhD in religious studies. There’s a lot about the Triangle to miss up here, but you’ll find other things you enjoy too.
