Drum Roll Please!

After many sleepless nights and much discussion, we FINALLY know what we will be doing for the next few years! We have accepted a job with Hensel Phelps Construction Co. in Northern California. Our condo is also sold as of today (Big day huh?) and we will close at the end of May. We plan on starting work in California June 2.

We will be about 13 hours from both Snowflake and Preston with no vacation time for 2008 (a bit rough since we are used to 3 weeks each year!) so if any of you are out our direction, please stop by! We will know in a couple of weeks what job Jordan will be on and where we should seriously start to look for housing. We will be back to renting again for a while - never thought we'd be doing that - but we are excited for this new chapter in our lives.

We're so happy for you, but really sad for the rest of us. Couldn't you have started at the end of summer instead of just as all the fun will begin?! I guess you gotta do what you gotta do, right?! We do wish you would be closer, but we're so glad you get this opportunity. Good thing for blogging so we can get frequent updates and PICTURES!

Hooray! Congrats, guys. Isn't it wonderful to finally know where you're supposed to be? Now you can start to look for housing! Best of luck!

Congratulations guys! This will be a great experience! Good luck finding an apartment and everything. At least you have a little bit of time to look for a place and make some plans. Dad was saying that you were thinking of spendind some time in AZ before you headed to Cali. Is that right?

That is a big day! :) I'm glad you know where you'll be, but we'll miss you! Good Luck with everything. Maria, your hair looks beautiful in those grad pics! Congrats again to you Jordan!

Congratulations on graduation and the job offer! Have fun in California!

:( We were hoping you would stay here! But Northern California is so beautiful! Will you be in Sacramento? If so, that is really close to Reno and we might be able to see you guys when we are in that neighborhood.

CONGRATULATIONS....

Thanks for the blog invite! It's fun to see pictures of your family. McKay is a cutie!

Congratulations on Jodan's graduation...I wonder who's more excited, you or him?!

To answer the questions you posted on my blog, no, I didn't do any work this busy season (I used to do audits, though, no taxes). Before I left the firm they told me they wanted me to do some work from home, but they've never had a work from home employee in the audit dept. before and just haven't sat down to determine the logistics of everything. That's okay, though. I'm thinking of getting one or two companies to do bookkeeping for...we'll see.
