Moving

Well, it's official. We're moving! We will be moving to Evansville, IN, a week from tomorrow. Michael got a job there at a company called Vectren where he will be a Business Analyst/Project Manager. Mixed feelings abound, as the sudden change of plans leaves a lot of our most precious friends and family behind, but we are excited for the prospect of a new career. They've offered to pay for Michael's MBA, so once that is finished and he has a few years of work experience under his belt, we figure we'll have lots of great options for our little family. It's not the bohemian lifestyle of an itinerant photographer, but we think corporate America will still be quite the adventure. If you click on the "Evansville" link above, the big building in the middle of the photo is where Michael will be working.

In the meantime, our house is an absolute disaster area, as you can imagine. I had this fantastic well-organized ideal of how I was going to pack each part of the house separately and have them individually stacked and carefully separated--HA! Check out this place now! I guess my subconscious decided to go the "all-at-once-chaos" method.



Jed has no complaints. Take your eyes off him for a second and he's rolled over to some previously forbidden item, such as Dad's photo prints, jars of water, cell phones, books, you name it... they're all drool soaked in seconds.
