[Ohio-Talk] good news!!!

[Barbara Pierce]

This is splendid news. I hope and believe that you will love Atlanta, my birth city. Anil Lewis might be able to give you advice about where to look for housing. 

We will miss you, and we thank you for all your hard work in the affiliate.

Cordially,

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

> Hello fellow Federationist,
> Over the last couple of weeks I have had some really good news in regards to my hunt for employment. I had been in talks with a company to join their international trade legal team. However, just a day before we were to meet to talk about compensation, I was contacted by a government agency, who had received my resume and was interested in talking with me about possibly joining their agency's legal team.
> Well the unimaginable happened, within twenty-six hours of being contacted by the federal government I was offered a position with The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), working in their Appeals and Litigation division. This position is located at their agency headquarters' in Atlanta Georgia.  This put me in the unusual position of having multiple job offers. After evaluating the pros and cons of both positions, I made the choice of taking the job with the CDC in Atlanta Georgia. I then did one of the most difficult things I had ever done, and that was writing the international trade company and informing them, that my circumstances had changed and was no longer in a position to take the first employment opportunity. This was truly a difficult thing for me to do based on how hard it can be to find a really good job
> At this time I am at the beginning of the onboarding process to join the federal government. This is a process that does not have a set time period, but can take a while. Heather and I are at the planning stage of relocating, and starting a new life in Georgia. As I am sure that everyone can imagine this will take sometime and a great deal of planning both on Heather and my part.
> Heather and I both plan to be as involved as we have always been with our NFBO family as long as we are still in Ohio. At this time we plan to keep are Columbus condo, so we will be back from time to time. If anyone is familiar with Atlanta heather and I could use suggestions as to where we should look for housing, and with what types of things we can do in Atlanta So, any guidance would be very much welcomed.
> Heather and I will keep everyone updated as to our upcoming move, and I would like to thank everyone in the NFBO for being such a good group of friends and colleagues to Heather and I over the last three and a half years.
