So, I'm in Denver right now. I flew in Sunday night and didn't get to the hotel until 2:30 AM. Got to bed about 3:00 ish so I was a little tired for my first day.
The place is sort of a strange place to work. They're essentially creating a new general office IT dept. and computer system from scratch so everyone is new and everyone is working towards the same project-oriented goal. There are all these young consultant sorts roaming around the place. Young and peppy and personable and MAN! IS IT WIERD! But.. first impressions are often misleading and it will take a while to get a grip on this 'thing' I'm a part of. Maybe I w0n't get a grip on it though because this 'thing' will be ever changing and evolving. not a bad thing necessarily. I am going to have to set time aside to do some exercising though otherwise I'm going to turn in to a big pile.
I'm more than a little worried about the stress this is going to be on the family. It's not easy being away from my boys. Cherity is thinking about going up to Luck and entering Owen in to her dad's school for second semester and although I'd like Owen to be able to attend his grandpa's school, it is definitely my desire for our house to miraculously sell in a time of year that houses don't sell and to get my family out here lickity-split..... All that scares us makes us stronger I suppose. I guess I'm more worried about this being more than just a couple months away from my family with short visits squished in between. At least this is all starting out in January. This is my most cranky S.A.D. time of year and the best time for all family to be away from the incredibly skinny hulk who you don't wont to see angry.
By the way, I think I'm going to be blogging a lot more.

I've been thinking about all of you guys a lot lately, hoping that the house sells FAST and whatever is meant to be for you all is what works out best for the family. Could you guys do a bridge loan type of thing so that Cherity and the boys could move with you asap? Just a thought!
Looking forward to the news reports from Denver, and super huge positive thoughts are being sent your way! =)
I thought Cherity was going to home school. Has she given up on that idea?
HI Aaron,
Andrew and I have been thinking about you, cherity and the boys and hoping all goes well with this transition period with your work. We're sending positive thoughts that the house will sell quickly!
All the best,
Wow man, I'm not sure what to say. Your experiences right now is hitting really close to home. I hope your house sells quickly.
HP: The bridge loan probably won't happen because we essentially won't get any equity out of the house. I'm guessing. I do need to talk to a financial institution about that though.
Twist: I've thought about how ironic it was that I would read Molly's blog on your whole situation and now I'm doing the same thing to myself and my family.
JP: The fact that Cherity's dad is the school superintendent makes the situation more desirable. Nothings set in stone just yet but we're leaning that direction. There are other reasons to but I won't get in to that right now.
You guys have been on my mind alot lately too. It will be good when things are resolved a little more with the house and everything. Sometimes the process of waiting almost teaches us more than the actual happening of what we want to happen. You just have to do your thing, sit back and watch things happen. God knows what's going on and you know he's out for your good. That's the coolest thing of all, isn't it?
We'll especially pray for Cherity that she will listen to her heart as she's holding the fort down and know what God would have her do next as the phone calls start coming about the house and where decisions about the boys are concerned. She may be stretched in this, but she can do it. We have faith in her. She probably has one of the tougher jobs, as I'm sure you'll agree. I'm sure you guys will talk regularly,right? so that will help lots.
Love you all very much.
Tell Cherity and the boys that we love them and are thinking about them. Robin emailed me and she and the boys will be missing your boys as well. You know what though, I'm starting to be glad we moved. It was crazy, but John loves his job, and getting through adversity TOGETHER has really really made our family closer and stronger. Blessings and love to you and yours. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers.
