Finally, I can tell everyone and the world what I've been dying to tell you!

We're moving home!!!!!

Randy has been asked to rejoin the THEMIS team at ASU. In other words, my hubby's gonna be a rocket scientist again! *grin*

Meanwhile, this creates my own Mission Impossible: pack this house and be ready for the movers on 6 February 2008! All while nursing Elijah back to health and keeping an eye on my own health.

I've been seriously packing for about 2 weeks already based on a flurry of phone calls which had the LROC team also vying for Randy's "l337 skillz". But, the hard part is over. We've accepted an offer and Randy has told his really cool boss the news. We're still awaiting word on an address for the other end of the trip. Eek! But, wherever we end up, we'll be in Arizona again!

As one might imagine, my Mom is trying so hard to be excited for us....but I think deep down inside she's very sad. Even though we don't get to visit as often as we'd like, it's only a 2 hour trip each way and that means we *have* had a lot of contact for the last two years. In a dream world, she'd transfer to Arizona and be happy there, but I don't know that she really liked it when she visited us out there.

Let the countdown begin!
