Good heavens, where do I begin? The week before last when Nils was at school he heard about a possible website gig. A company in Salt Lake wanted a new website and wanted a student to do it. Nils has been doing a lot of freelance stuff lateley, so he e-mailed the guy and set up an interview for last Tuesday. (He was deathly ill with the runs and puking all day, but went anyway. So glad he did!) He took a portfolio and a sample of a new website he had designed. They started talking about all these other things they wanted done for them, which they were planning on outsourcing. Nils does all of those things either professionally or has taken classes in them. They told him they wanted him to work for them full time. He gave them a salary number, and Thursday they called him with an offer. He'll accept it tomorrow. It's all very sudden and strange, and we're still processing it. The only negative is that we have to move. They were pretty clear with him that it's not realistic to live in Springville and commute to Salt Lake every day and be happy about it. So, we have to sell our beloved townhouse and head north somewhere. We have no idea where we'll live or what kind of house we'll get, but it feels like the right thing to do. He's been with Craft Supplies for almost five years, so this is really a major life change. I'm sad because I have a lot of really good friends here. I love opening my door and having an instant party with friends and neighbors. I'll really miss that.
The next item of news is a big secret, but since no one reads this it doesn't matter. We found out about three weeeks ago that we're having a baby in June-ish. I must say it was a little surprising; I got my IUD out at the end of August. It's taken at least 5 months with our other kids. This one took about 3 minutes. Someone's anxious to get here! Anyway, we're very excited. I've been pretty sick though, and that sucks.
So the above two items are pretty major- we're in for an exciting next few months. I'll try my best to keep writing. I've been feeling pretty darn lazy lately, so no promises!

You'll be in our neck of the woods! It's better up here.
Congratulations on the baby - 3 is a whole new game.
