I am being sold. Well, actually the group I work for at Motorola is being sold. It's kind of a strange feeling being sold. This whole acquisition experience makes me wonder what it would be like to be a woman living in a country where arranged marriages are the norm and the size of your dowry is what really matters.
I have very mixed feelings about this acquisition. On the one hand, it will be nice to get away from big company bureaucracy and process (or lack thereof). Hopefully, we'll be more nimble and responsive. On the other hand, as a smaller, private company I'm a bit concerned about what resources we will and won't have. Either way, I'm going to keep an open mind about what might happen going forward, focus on what I can do, not worry about things I have no control over and just be happy that I am employed.

Catching up on blogging
Wow! I had no idea it's been so long since I posted a blog. We've been so busy with the house, that I haven't much time to write. It's been so long that I wonder if anyone's still reading this blog. =) Let's see...
We finished remodeling our new house in early January and moved in on MLK Jr. weekend. I don't think I want to move for quite some time. We have wonderful friends who helped us move everything. Thanks everyone! We couldn't have done it without you. It took longer to pack everything than to actually move...haha! I suppose that's the way it usually goes. When the last load of "stuff" was unloaded our garage was overflowing. I don't think we could've closed the garage door! Plus the box with our toothbrushes and toiletries were behind a bunch of boxes in the corner of the garage. Anyhoo, it all worked out.
We've unpacked most of the boxes and have found a home for most of our stuff. Even though we've made a lot of progress, there's still a few items that need to find homes or need to be installed (e.g. towel hangers, dining area light, and window coverings) or need to be painted (e.g. master bathroom door and master closet doors). Greg is busy rolling out insulation in the attic as I type. Hopefully, we'll be all settled in by early March.
