Idaho it is!!!!!

I received a phone call today from Wendy McClure (University of Idaho Architecture Faculty Chair) who has extended an offer for me to come to U. of Idaho as a tenure-track faculty member. I'm pumped!!! I'll be teaching two studios in the fall and a studio and perhaps a seminar in the spring. Of course, this means the family will be moving to Idaho, a place I never envisioned living - though what I have seen of it is gorgeous and the University itself is wonderful. Emilie and I have discussed this in length and feel that it is the right decision for us at this time in our lives - who knows what the more distant future holds. I really can't wait to begin our new lives.

Quick Update

Had my final thesis review today - my project went over well, below are a few renderings of what the building ended up becoming (the program itself was for a new central library in Fort Worth).
The review went well and I am happy to have it done. I am sad to be leaving school (I never would have said that about undergraduate school) - I have enjoyed my time at UT very much.

I am still waiting on word from Idaho and K State about teaching opportunties - fingers crossed.

Our house has recently gone under contract, young couple - first time home buyers - we'll see.

Topher's team is in the playoffs right now - they won their first game. We also found out that he will be playing on the all-star team, busy summer of baseball for the Jacobus family (just like I like it!)

I am going to be teaching at the Summer Academy at UT - a program that allows people who are trying to decide whether or not they want a career in architecture a 4 week intensive studio. That will be my month of June.

I guess that's it - we'll see what life has in store for us over the next few months. I am officially unemployed - YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!
