New Stuff and Old Stuff

Here is a quick timeline of the last month:

• New job
• Sold House (5 days on the market!)
• New company relocated our stuff
• John and dog (Madison) drove 2200 miles
• John started new job and stressed about unpacking the house
• Becky, Sarah, Lauren and my Mom arrived on August 16th
• Sarah started pre-school on the 17th

I could fill a few paragraphs under each of those bullet points. Needless to say but it has been a whirl-wind of activity over the last month. Although I must confess, in some ways it has been easier moving to Utah than from one side of town to the other in Virginia...

New Stuff

• The weather is amazing. Even 100 degrees feels like about 80 in VA.
• The altitude is tough to get used to. We are at 6200 feet above sea level at the house. A mile hike into the mountain range behind us gets to 8000 pretty quick. It's like having 3 people sit on you while breathing through a straw.
• Traffic is non-existent except on the main highway...
• I wasn't sure I'd like the time zone difference but no problems so far.
• DMV is a whole new world in Utah. No lines, plenty of people behind the counter, and everyone is nice.

Old Stuff

• Costco is the same
• Target is the same
• Sarah and Lauren both have a cold

Mom is heading back to Virginia Saturday and we have some picnics scheduled over the next few weekends (some friends of mine - my new company).

By the way, I'm working at a company called DECHO, which is part of EMC. DECHO was formed from two companies called PI and MOZY. I am at the office and working mostly on the MOZY stuff. If you follow any of those links, everything that says MozyPro is what I work on.

Coming Soon...

• Pictures
• Sarah will be doing a guest posting about her first week of PreSchool.
• Becky will post her 10 steps to re-organizing a house after a husband tries
• Mom will send in some of her thoughts about Utah

Have a good weekend!
