Well, things have been pretty crazy lately and I thought that it would be good if I got on here and posted some updates for everyone. Jessica does a great job of keeping the blog up to date. But I thought it might be nice for some of you to hear from me.
As I said life is crazy. I have an offer to stay down here, but haven't accepted it yet. We've been trying to tie up some loose ends to figure out what to do first. Part of this was contacting another team also at Intel that I had also interviewed with. In trying to close things up, I ended up scheduling a face to face with the team out in MA and having to extend my response deadline for my current offer!
I'm telling this story because I went to the temple the other day and asked for the Lord's help in this process. I had waited 5 weeks to see a verbal offer become an official one. And the day that I promised to respond, I have another opportunity arise. I find it amazing how the Lord does bless us, but before he does, he stretches us farther than we think is possible. He's really good at getting that last little bit out of us.
As things stand now, I have extended my deadline to respond to my current offer, and I'm scheduled to interview with the other team Jan 2nd. We will be flying out of AZ to CO this Wed and enjoying the holidays with Jessica's family. Then I will fly (and Jessica too if we can make it work) to MA on the first, interview on the 2nd, fly back to CO and then on to AZ on the 3rd, and move out of our apartment by the 6th. We still don't know what state, let alone what apartment, we will be moving into. Good times. But, we both agree that we are where we want to be in the process, and are relying on the Lord to guide us.
Mckenzie and Abby might as well be weeds for how fast they are growing. I never thought that anyone would be able to melt my heart as severely as Mckenzie does when she gives me kisses and hugs. We have wonderful children, and apologize to anyone who has seen them when they forget to be such. Hope everyone is doing well. Merry Christmas. Khristos Voskres.

Hey Dan-
It is really good to hear from you.
I bet this Christmas season is really exciting and stressful with all the changes you will face soon.
I've also seen that we are often stretched before our answer will come. We felt strongly that we should move to Dallas (and believe me, I understand why someone would not want to move here.) We didn't even have a real job offer... just an internship offer. Only after we moved here, and after the internship was over did I get the job I wanted here. It seems like we are asked to go as far as we can, and then our answer will come.
Paul and Nicole will be moving soon as they are done with school now. I think Paul may accept an offer to work in a professional scouting job in New Mexico. They are also in the deciding process, to see if it is the right job for them.
Best of luck- you are in our prayers this season, hopefully everything will fall into place soon.

Congrats with the job offer (wherever you may end up) and I'm crossing my fingers that you end up in the place of your dreams! I know Jessica would love to get back to the snow. I'm secretly hoping you come to Austin b/c I know they have Intel here. hehe. Anyway, keep me posted & good luck! :)
How did you interview go? I hope it went well and you have an easy decision to make. We know how hard it is. I hope your christmas was great too. Hopefully we will run into each other on a random trip to Idaho. Well good luck, and have an awesome day!
