OK. I believe the siblings all know (not sure about Erin) that Dan and Alayna are moving. So I can blog about it.
Dan got a good job offer from the Edge of Reality in Austin, Texas. They have a web site, and their games look really good. It is a solid company, and they have treated them right--paid for their two-day interview trip and for their move to Austin.
They are packed up and leaving next Monday. Last weekend was their heart-breaking garage sell. Their apartment in Austin is a lot smaller--so much of their stuff had to go. Alayna leaves her friends she made in her first year of college. They have had 10 years of fun together. Dan and Alayna are leasing their house and hope to return someday.
They are taking four days to drive down to Austin, making a road trip out of it.
Austin should be a good spot for them. I'm still going there for a month when Elijah is born. I'm looking towards that--and trying not to think of all the wonderful trips we've taken to visit them and the other kids and Elena and Wayne. I really hope we get a few good flight deals so that visits are not much further apart. Ivan is a bit sad because he probably will not come when the baby is born. sigh.
We are seriously thinking about flying to Minneapolis when Erin is released, however. Amanda would likely come, and Ryan just might get to go also.
Life is changing.

I just heard about the move yesterday from Jana and I was quite surprised but very pleased. They'll love Austin, it's not far from San Antonio which is one of my favorite cities.

I do NOT like having the children move far away!!! (Glad he got a good job, however.) We will probably fly to Austen and drive to College Station in June after Charlotte Elena is born. Maybe we can drop in on the Silvers.
