Where in England?

Many of our beloved family and friends have asked where we're moving to in the UK. Great question!

Living: We plan to live in Cheltenham, which is a "twin-city" to Gloucester (directly west of London).

AJ's School: AJ is affiliated with the University of Bristol/Trinity College (south of Gloucester/Cheltenham) and will attend seminars, lectures, etc. at the actual University on occasion. His schooling will be more of a mentorship rather than actual classroom study...so we're living conveniently near AJ's professor, Dr. Gordon Wenham, and our dear friends Brian & Jaylene (who are three years ahead in school)!

Andrea's Work: I will be working at Hyder Consulting in Birmingham (north of Gloucester/Cheltenham)! I've learned that there is a direct train route from Cheltenham to Birmingham (45 minutes), then a little shuttle from the train station to the office. It'll be so nice to use the commuting time to read and soak in the scenery!
