I don’t think I’ve explained very much about what’s going on with us these days, & in the upcoming weeks, & I’m starting to get a lot of emails and messages asking what’s up.
So, here’s the nutshell version:
- Betty is now officially Rachel Elizabeth. She’ll always be Betty – since that’s a short form of Elizabeth. She got a court order to change her name & the kind folks she ran into at the DMV changed her gender marker for her. The combination will really help out in our day to day lives, and yes, I’m more than okay with it, I’m happy for her, and for me, since I won’t have to buy the beer anymore.
- I was offered a part-time teaching gig at Lawrence University for the upcoming 2009/10 school year, which I accepted. We will be living in university housing, which means I get to walk to work again, as I did the past two times I worked there, which I love. She is coming with me this year, since the 6 months apart this past year really sucked, and because this will be for 10 months.
- We are subletting our Brooklyn apartment with the blessings of our landlord and to people who know our downstairs neighbors and who need our furniture. So it’s win-win, since we’re not actually moving to WI (yet) – just going for the 10 months.
- Rachel is currently looking for work in Appleton, and is otherwise (of course) always looking for clients she can build/design websites for. You can contact me at helenboyd (at) myhusbandbetty (dot) com if you’re one of those potential clients.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
