WELCOME

Welcome to my blog about our new adventures about moving from sub-tropical coastal South Carolina (Charleston) to a city in the Sonoran Desert (Tucson). My first struggle is to learn to spell Tucson correctly as I tend to want to switch the c and the s!
Just a brief history of each city first:
Charleston (formerly Charles Town) was founded in 1670 and moved to its present location in 1680 by English settlers. Charleston was a focal point for the American Revolution (1176-1785) and was seized and was under British control through 1782. it was also the first state to secede from the Union and the first shot of the American Civil War was fired here on to Fort Sumter where the Union army was holed up. It is city filled with history and has been beautifully preserved. It is continually voted as one of the best cities to visit and the friendliest people.
Tucson, Arizona is located about 120 miles southeast of Phoenix and 60 miles north of the Mexican border. The Spanish colonizers tried to seize the land from the local Native tribes in the 1770's, It was officailly founded by the Irish exporer Hugh O'Connor in 1775 and is one of the oldest cities in the United States.Tucson is considered one of the "Mega-Trend" cities of the 21st century. It has the beauty of the Sonaran desert as well as being surrounded by five mountain ranges. It is also considered a very "artsy" area which is good for me. It is a huge area for photography and hopefully, will make me grow and push myself further in that field.
Tom will be working at Raytheon Missile Defense Systems. He will doing speechwriting and other executive communications duties.
We are looking forward to all of our opportunities and hope you will check back with my blog from time to time to see how "jen's journey" is proceeding.

Good News!

The beginning of a new week with the Dalys living in Eastern Standard Time vs. Mountain Standard Time. Some good news though. First, Tom's trip to Camden , Arkansas got canceled. And the really good thing is that Tom will be coming home for a few days on Thursday night. He will be returning on Monday-just enough days to get his time clock all screwed up again! So it will be really nice to have him here. And our little nephews are coming this weekend too so a lot of exciting things in a few days! Thursday night I go to our supper club for probably the last time for me and my mom too. It's too bad Tom won't be in early enough to come to that too. He hardly had a chance to tell many people goodbye before he left. Anyway, we 're looking forward to spending time together, with our families(especially the little members) and Valentine's Day together.
