What do you think about moving to Guam?

For those of you who haven't heard the play-by-play leading up to our move to Guam, I thought I would provide a little background information in our first posts. We'll start with the application process.

Moving to Guam has been a topic of conversation for months! I learned about the Guam position in April 2015 and I immediately proposed the adventure to Jonathan. On a beautiful April afternoon, we shared a bottle of Rosé and discussed the possibility of moving to the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The conversation during the first glass was filled with concerns and many questions. By the end of the bottle, we were ready to move and had made a list of all the things we wanted to do when we lived there. :)  The Oregon position was also open and always been on our short list of places to live, we decided I should put my name in the hat for both Oregon and Guam.

June 17: I submitted my application for Oregon and Guam and the ultimate waiting game began. 

October 6: I was notified I would be interviewed for both positions.

November 3: I interviewed for both positions. The interview went really well and I felt confident I would be chosen for one of the positions.

November 12: I was notified I was the candidate chosen for the Guam position. After a few conversations with Jonathan and sleeping on it, I told my supervisor to put my name forward.

November 13: My name was submitted to HR. 

December 7: I received and accepted the offer.

December 14: I received my official notification.

After waiting for months, things moved very fast after December 14...
