The post you've all been waiting for. . .

No, I'm not pregnant-I would probably cry if I was.

After 6 months of unemployment, Chad officially starts work on Monday.  We've known about it for a couple of months but have been waiting on paperwork, security crap, and general bureaucracy to get an official start date.

He'll be working in the Palace Aquire program which is a three year program. The first year, he'll be working as a Mechanical Engineer around base. The Second year, they will be paying for him to get his Masters. The third year he'll be working full time again.

So we'll be in Northern, UT for the next few years. We'll stay with Grandpa M for a bit saving us money and helping him out in the process. That is as long as he doesn't totally get sick of having us around.
