Hendersons Family Update!

The big changes we've been waiting for have arrived!

After realizing our doomed fate in Utah, we've spent months doing research, studying, tests, apartment and job hunting. And now, we're pleased to announce a surprising development!

We're staying put!

Yep. Most of our research led us to a great trade temp agency in Las Vegas. To prepare for that job, we contacted the local branch to do the hiring work. They informed us that the current agency Nathan was working for was, as we already knew, grossly under-paying him. So, we switched! And we're moving to Salt Lake City! In like a week!

This current project will last through the end of the year, and is unique compared to the projects in the past. It's Nathan's first experience with solar (which is a huge business right now), and has a crazy, awesome schedule! I'm sure other people in the construction trade are familiar with it, but it's our first time: Eight solid 10-hour days, followed by six days off. Lather, rinse, repeat! It's not that crazy. No, it's definitely crazy. And it's a hour away from where we are right now. And we're moving in a week.

I am trying not to stress myself out, but it is most definitely not working. We've got our solution. We're sticking around. We have plenty of time to get that stupid final test to bend to our will. Basically that boat stuck in the sandbar is starting to wiggle and move. Very exciting, still very hard.

But it's happening. So, bring it on!
