Moving forward

I guess everything's now official enough that I can post on the blog...

As many of you know, we have had a lot of job uncertainty for many months now due to the subprime mortgage issues. We finally have some resolution. About a week ago, Andrew's job was eliminated, but we got a nice severance package, which eliminates a lot of stress. He is on "60 days working notice" through Oct 11, but since his team has been effectively dismantled, he doesn't have much of a job to go to everyday. An example: today he went to the office for about 3 hours & then came home for the Nascar race that got rained out yesterday (which was rained out again today.)

We didn't think our time in Utah would be quite this short-term, but we're definitely OK with packin' up and movin' out. Colorado is where we want to live & raise our kids, so we are headed back there, specifically to Parker, in the next month or so for good. We have already hauled one trailer load back, and are getting another load ready for this weekend with all non-essentials. We are going to be running a skeleton household in Utah for the next few weeks until we make the final move. Mom & Dad have graciously let us use their basement as a Public Storage unit. Needless to say, we are glad to get this ball rolling!!
