I Need A Hybrid!...

Many, many congratulations go out to my very talented husband, who this week landed a job at The Florida Times-Union, in Jacksonville, Fla.


I am so proud of him. He flew down Wednesday for an intense 2-day interview. Obviously he nailed it, because they offered him the job on the spot.

Jeremy will be writing features, mainly dealing with homes and gardening. He'll also get to branch out and do some multimedia stuff, so he can incorporate what we've learning at the University of Alabama.

The position is a big departure from the investigative work he was doing in Naples, but he says he is up for the change. He feels like he'll really get to be creative and step outside of his comfort zone to tell stories that are important to people.

The thing that he likes most about the newspaper, though, is the positivity that radiates through the newsroom. In this day and age of shrinking circulations and staffs, it's nice to know there is a newspaper that has a positive outlook on the future.

We'll likely look for a place on the west side of Jacksonville, since I probably won't need to be on campus everyday. It'll be a hike, but if Jeremy is doing what he loves at a place he'll enjoy, it'll be worth it.

Besides, he's worth the trip!
