His primary responsibility in the beginning will be to find and hire a sales team, which in this poor economy wouldn't seem like a big task with unemployment being what it is but believe it or not it IS. So much so that finding a replacement for one of his guys in Portland has his stress level at a critical point and his Ulcerative Colitis is rearing it's ugly head again. Anyway, I have faith that he will be blessed with a huge pool of super star candidates ready to get to work in Utah!
This is a huge change for our family as neither one of us has ever lived there, visited yes but never lived. Ryan has been dying to get out there to be closer to his brothers and sisters and their families and now the time has finally come and he is thrilled. I am excited for the opportunity for our girls to be able to spend time with their cousins and remember how much I enjoyed that from my childhood! We are hoping it will lend us a better chance to get to the temple more often and let's face it the shopping will be a bit of an improvement from what sweet lil Albany has had to offer us. We will miss all our friends and family dearly and I say that tearfully.
In the meantime ......we are still waiting for our baby girl to make her arrival and can't wait to meet her!!! I'm praying and hoping that she gets here soon. If she is not here within this next week she will be evicted via induction on Friday the 14th!!!
Here are some of the ways we have been biding our time waiting for this kiddo!
Welcoming new friends into the world!

Hip Hip Hooray!!!!! my bro asked me how do you find your cap after this?
I love the upside down sunglasses and the cheeser grin on Lys! Her upside down glasses get more comments than you would believe, but that's how she likes em best!
Everyone needs a "Line Leader" and that's just what Lys was complete with her map and all!
Bella and Daddy! She likes to pull his hair on this ride!
This was awesome, this little guy curled up in this little box! Too cute.
Me and the girlies watching the bird show, which made me extremely uncomfortable as A) I do not like birds and B) I promise a stupid bird dive bombed my head and almost mamed me.
Whoaaaa nellie, just another day at the office!
Close-ups of the girls! Had fun trying out the new camera!!!
