Crunch Time

10 1/2 more days until we head to Colorado!!!! WWWHHHEEEEEE The logistics have been a total pain in the rear, but I think everything is set. All we have to do is finish packing! Gah - so so so annoying!

While Jeremy has been sleeping...

...The girls and I have been busy with boxes and tape! Well, Ayla and I have been anyway.

The bulk of the toys, books, knitting, knick-kacks, and what-nots have all been boxed up. This week and next, we attack the day-to-day living stuff in the kitchen, bathrooms, and office area.

We had a lovely visit with Grama this weekend. Jeremy took her and Ayla for a bike ride around the lake before dinner, though I am told that Ayla pooped out after 3 miles. After dinner, they enjoyed some soy "green tea" ice cream (blech) and then it was bedtime for the kidlets.

So, back to the Colorado subject:
the girls and I are flying out on Friday immediately after closing. Jeremy and Marmelade will then continue on in the car across the country, arriving sometime Saturday night (hopefully). This turned out to be the cheapest, easiest, most satisfying solution for all parties involved. Plus, it means I get to see Jennifer sooner than anticipated!

Oh, and did I mention the best news?

When we first started the blog, we mentioned that Jeremy was going to accept a job (with another appliance company). Well, that same day before his official "acceptance," he recieved a phone call from Whirlpool offering him an interview for a position as Master Technician. Well, after the interview process, many talks on the phone, and numerous pillow talks between the two of us, Jeremy has "officially" accepted the job with Whirlpool! And he is so excited! The opportunities rock, the benefits are amazing, the pay is awesome, and the company is one he has wanted to work with for a long time. Did I mention the best part? He'll be working from home with his own private office set up! His job entails acting as phone/internet support for field technicians. In the words of one awesome sis (she knows who she is): Yee Haaawww!!!!!
