January

After spending Christmas in Newport, Oregon with Shawn's family, we flew home New Year's Day determined to drive to Utah the very next day as a final effort to get jobs closer to our families. Shawn was committed to start a job in DFW in a week and a half unless we found something better in Utah. Although we were delayed a day or two in our attempt since the airline lost our luggage on the flight home, we were soon off on our adventure...

We were blessed in our attempt and Shawn got a job offer on Tuesday and I got one on Wednesday. We knew it was time for us to move closer to family. The next day we flew back to Texas and put our first home up for sale.

After getting our house on the market, we loaded up our second car and drove back to Utah to start our new jobs. We moved in with my parents to wait for our house to sell and to look for a new house in Utah. Both of us started our jobs on January 22nd. Shawn is the Lead Generation Manager for Infopia - an eCommerce company in downtown Salt Lake City. I took an accounting position with the FrontGate Sundance Alliance - working in residential contruction for the first time.
