They didn't put a noun at the end of the so-called title so I'm not sure what's appropriate. LoP is way more excited than I am because he likes cold and snow and is generally more easy-going. I am sad to be leaving the people I've spent nearly two years building a store and community with- especially since they keep asking if I can still say "No" and commenting on how far apart we will soon be- and the more I look at the job description, the more frightened I become that I will get there and they will say "Well, you sure put one over on us. We thought you were this kind of person with these skills and actually you're a slightly less extreme version of the Lily Tomlin character in 'Grandma' and you have no idea what you're doing." This feeling of being an imposter is not helped by LoP having been morphed from "my boyfriend of nearly three years"- my words- to "your husband"- the director of the senior center's words. *sigh* And people in this forum expressed strong opinions that we should not move there and we have watched one season and part of another of "Longmire", which is supposed to be set in Wyoming- and it never seems to make it around to summer. But it must, right? Anyway, it's official.
Hey Mo, I have all the faith in the world in you. You're going to make out fine. The only reason your job title is ill-defined is because THEY themselves don't know exactly what they want you to do. They're going to make it up as they go along. Happens all the time.

Good luck! Make sure you can get internet and cell service in your new domicile, otherwise look elsewhere. This is the 21st century after all.

Tell Les to post pictures. Again, best wishes!
