Our Fate is Decided

Well, many of you already know what this post is going to say, but I feel it's worth posting anyway! After 4 long months of waiting on pins and needles, Kiewit has decided our fate and are sending us to Bellevue, WA for Dellas to start work on the rebuilding of the 520 floating bridge across Lake Washington (which spans between downtown Seattle and Bellevue.) This job was one of Dellas' first picks so he's pretty excited. I, on the other hand, bypassed the excitement and immediately went into planning mode but didn't have long before family came into town to help us celebrate Del's graduation.

Now that we have him OFFICIALLY done with college we're starting to put together our plans and line up a place to live. Luckily, I'm familiar enough with the area to help eliminate certain places but it's still nice to have family who is local to help out.
This upcoming week will be spent enjoying time with Dellas' parents (and soon his brother) who are in town until after Christmas, while trying to tie up loose ends in Meridian. My last day at work isn't until the 30th so Dellas' job, from the 27th-31st, is to go to Seattle and scrape up some houses and hopefully pin something down before we head to Hawaii for a week on the 1st. We get back from Hawaii on the 8th and Dellas starts work the 16th. Somewhere in that mesh of activity we'll need to come back to Boise, pack up our house, haul it over, and hopefully unload it into a house! If not, I hope my family will let us crash in on them temporarily!
As for my job, I'm not sure yet. I'm checking into transferring with my current bank but also trying to weigh how long of a commute I want. So we'll see what happens there.

Everything that we've been thinking about and wondering about for the last 6 months is actually starting to happen now! It's a crazy, stressful, exciting, scary time for us but that's life! We'll be keeping everyone updated as things come together. I apologize ahead of time if I'm not the best blog updater over the next month but I promise it'll come!
