Dan's New Job!

Before we left on our trip to NY a few weeks ago, Dan got a job offer for a job doing IT stuff. I don't really know all the details, but after talking/praying about it, we really thought that it was something we couldn't turn down. So, he quit his gov't job of learning Arabic and started this week learning computer stuff. He has always loved computers, but doesn't have any official training. This job will hopefully provide some training. Two of our friends work at the same company (one of them hooked Dan up with this job) and they both really like it. So, we really hope that Dan likes it too and that this works out. The job is in Reston, Virginia....so we'll be moving!! Dan can commute till then, but it's a really long commute, so we hope to move soon. The housing market is really slow right now, but we're getting our house ready to put on the market next weekend. I've been waking up with Dan at 5am and cleaning all day long. We've put stuff in storage, cleaned things I've never cleaned before, painting, carpets cleaned, etc! We are so sad to leave our area and ward and all of our friends, but excited at the thought of getting a real house. Maybe it will even have a backyard and a garage (and a sewing room of course!). So, with all this boxing things up, Carson has had a great time making "forts" or "cages" as he calls them. He also wanted to stand on the counter tops like mom was to clean the cabinets. Anyway, hopefully this selling/buying a house won't be a super hard ordeal. Wish us luck!!
