Update From Wisconsin

So I am still in Madison working and Elsie and the kids are in Utah packing the last few things before the long haul to WI.  I will be flying out to Idaho later this week to meet up with the family for a vacation in McCall.  After 10 days of vacationing, I'll fly home to WI with Urban while Elsie and the girls make the drive.  It will be great to actually live together as a family again.

We will be moving into an apartment while the builder finishes up the house.  The house was supposed to be done mid-August, but now it won't be finished until September.  I had a meeting with the builder last week to go over what is holding them up and they didn't really have a good reason that they could validate adequately so they will be paying some extra fees.  I am pretty sure they weren't expecting me to call them out on their management of the build, but I am really wanting to get my family moved in. 

The job is going awesome!  The Tour is in full swing and the whole office is into it even though Lance isn't doing too hot.  It is great to work where people have a passion about what they do.  The humidity isn't as bad as I thought it would be, although it did take a little getting used to, especially exercising outside.  The first time I went running it felt like I had to chew the air before breathing.  Not quite like dry Utah.

Elsie has the camera and so no pictures yet.  When she gets out here I am sure she'll post some with the house.

Just a quick update.

So no pics. Sorry, I am not at home. We have been visiting family for the past 3 weeks. The girls went to Gma Walker's and I went to Wisconsin. It was nice to see Justin and good to get a few more steps into our move. We bought a house!! I feel like it has been a long time coming, and we are so excited, It is in Lake Mills, WI. It is in the process of being built. So that ends up being good and bad. It won't be finished until the end of August. But I got to customize a lot of things. I am super excited. Justin's job is going good. He likes it a lot. He likes how friendly and family oriented of a company it is.  They truly care if their employees are happy and that is a good change. We are currently in St. George and are melting. It is so hot here. But we are having a good time and are looking forward to all of our other trips to visit family before we leave.
