Our newest adventure is progressing whether we want it to or not. We have our house on the market as of last Thursday and I'm slowly working my way through the list of repairs that our relocation company wants done before they will accept the house. I'm spending a couple of days a week in Decatur where my new job is and working from my office here the rest of the time and Andrea is trying to do some organizing and re-boxing in preparation for a May or June move date. And we've looked at every house surrounding Decatur and don't like any of them. Except one in Argenta, but someone else is already making an offer on that one. Phooey.
I should be more specific - we've looked at every three and four bedroom house that has a main level bedroom and bathroom and has at least half an acre. And that's colored blue. Just kidding. Well, April is supposed to be prime housing season, so I guess we'll just have to be patient.
Work is crazy busy. And challenging. I'm enjoying it very much. I'm working on a project with some of the best engineers in the company on one of the highest profile products we make. Unfortunately, it's going to require a fair amount of time in Tucson this summer for testing. Like, up to a couple of months worth. Starting in May. Great timing, huh? We should be able to break up the testing so that I won't have to spend much more than three weeks at a time away from home, but still - I'm not looking forward to being away. Maybe the Pandemonium Family can take a summer trip to visit me during one of those stays!
The kids had Spring Break this week.We spent the weekend and the first couple of days in Decatur visiting friends and looking at houses. Then, Andrea took the whole crew up to Shaumburg today to go to Legoland. She met up with Sandra and her kids (also Lego lovers) and they didn't get home until after supper. Everyone is pretty beat tonight.
Is it Friday yet?
