The Big Move

I've always promised my daughter that when she graduated from college, we'd move back to California. We'd get a house, and I'd provide a nice, secure place for her to start her career and life.

Late last year, my employer announced that they were sponsoring an early retirement buyout for people that had been here a certain number of years. I'd be foolish not to take it as it's basically a free year's salary to leave. As I was planning to do that anyway, it was a no brainer.

So, we're packing up 15 years of house crap, trying to get the house in order to sell, get our lives in order, and get ready for a six-day drive to a place where we have no jobs or place to live. Oh, and we're bringing our 110-pound Newfoundland.

I'll be posting here as the journey unfolds. Someday I'll look back on this, and hopefully see it as the best adventure ever : )
