your attention please . . .

We have an announcement that I, first, never thought I'd be making, and second, never thought I'd be happy about making. But I am on both accounts. We are moving back to Bakersfield the first week of May. Thad accepted a job offer there yesterday so it is official. And now I have a month to get things organized and ready to go. It was really hard to make a decision about this because we really have never had anything this big to think about. I mean leaving Provo changes everything. We are no longer poor college students so we have to think about saving money for a down payment on a house, and mortgage payments, and car payments(I need a new one), and 401K's, and school districts, and a million real world things that we have not had to deal with yet. Wish us luck ;)
Here is my new favorite picture of Andi.

Say what now?

Andi is trying desperately to talk now. Most of the time she really thinks she is talking, and she gets mad at me for not understanding. She just babbles and looks at me like, "why are you not doing what I told you!?" Last week I was talking to a friend at our house and Andi just kept babbling. I tried to talk over her, but if I got louder she would get louder. She finally climbed up on the couch and yelled in my face until I stopped talking and listened to whatever it was she was trying to say. She's kinda pushy.
Her hair is getting longer finally and she can now wear pig tails. Although, for the most part it looks like she has a mullet. That hair in front just won't grow!


So Thad has one job offer in CA, and is flying back to Northern CA tonight for an interview with a different company. The offer he got last weekend had some pretty sweet perks including 2 weeks paid vaca effective immediately. Some of the other Co's he's talked to you have to wait a year to get any vaca time. And since I am all about play time I like the Co from last weekend ;) But we'll see what the next 2 have to offer.
