Sim & Bek's Place

For those not in the 'know' Bek and I are headed for a white Christmas this year!

We had been planning to travel over to New Jersey, USA later this year during Bek's school holidays (mid-December to late January). Aiming to first visit England so that we could catch up with Bek's sister Claire over Christmas and then head on to New Jersey/New York for the official start of 2009!
However the price of tickets had caught us slightly off guard. Flights to EITHER New Jersey or England were okay, but the cost of getting to both was steep and so we had avoided buying the tickets until we were 100% sure that we a) could really afford them, and b) actually wanted to go that badly!!

In steps Liquid Church - New Jersey.

Three weeks ago we found out that Liquid was offering me a 3month internship in New Jersey!! They are planning significant expansion next year as they are going to start new campuses around the world via an internet campus system. Liquid was impressed with my previous design work, and so they have offered me the chance to go over to New Jersey and help them out!
Quite amazing and very exciting!

Originally, we were to get there and start as soon as possible - but due to my uni commitments the trip has had to be delayed. There was no way of me putting my uni course on hold when I only had 9 weeks left...ever!

So delay it would be - and 48hrs after I finish uni forever, we will both be on the plane to America!!! I will have my final university presentation on Friday 14th November, and we will be flying out on Sunday 16th November.

It will be a cold, cold holiday but a white Christmas will be very exciting! Especially one where New York is a 25min train ride away. And we are also planning on getting Claire over to us for Christmas as it is much cheaper to fly one person that two! So double the excitement there!


We can't wait...
