We've been pretty busy lately

Sorry I never post anything any more, but life has been pretty crazy lately and I've been too worn out to do anything extra. Ryan has been working hard on finishing up all of his certifications for Cisco. He finished his NP and his DP this week (whatever those are) but I am really happy for him that he finished all the required certs for this training program that he's been in this year. We were planning on moving to Virginia but because of the economy, Cisco had to reassess all the alignments. Ryan was going to take a commercial sales position but I guess that commercial sales aren't doing so hot right now. He had already met the team and really liked them. His team really liked him and pulled all the strings they could to get him to still be able to move to Richmond with a Public Sector team instead. That was all in place butjust before it was all decided they placed a new decision before us. Cisco had a new oppurtunity for 15 people to learn more about a new way of doing things on a more virtual level but it would require 10 weeks of intense training and 3 more certs. We decided to try for that and he got it. This new postion had the option of staying in RTP or moving to San Jose, CA. We decided to stay in RTP because we have low costs right now and we wouldn't have to move in the middle of a pregnancy. Yea!! After 6months to a year we can probably live wherever we want because Ryan could do his work from home. That was pretty exciting for us that he got into the new program. The one thing we are thinking though is that his intense training might get to crazy toward the end, so we're thinking that me, and the kids will come out to Utah for 2-3 weeks and then Ryan will come out and meet us and visit everyone that we can before Ryan starts the real job after all the training. Oh yeah, and more exciting news is that we are having a boy on October 13th (around there anyway) We can't hink of any names though, sad. Any suggestions?

Holy Cow! There are a lot of things going on in your life. Congratulations on the baby news! I wish you guys were moving back to Utah! That would be awesome. Let me know when you will be in Utah. Maybe we can see you up here or down in St. George. Have fun.

Your kids are getting so big! I can't believe they are learning to play baseball--are they really old enough for that yet? And congrats on the pregnancy (Jake told me you were pregnant--but you know Jake and all the stuff he makes up and I didn't believe him) Wow, you must stay very very busy. I like your names, they are both very cute--I'm partial to Porter, but I think Porter Rockwell was a pretty cool guy! Congrats again!!
