On the Move Again...




And hopefully this will be the last time for a long while! Sorry I have not shared all of this with you all sooner but there were so many factors involved I just wanted to make sure everything panned out before I announced our news. We're moving again. The dorm project for Auburn University is nearing completion therefore, Ron's company has been taking managers off the project. Ron actually got a promotion! He was named Project Manager for a government funded project in Selma, AL. He will be building a State Correctional Training Facility, basically all the state troopers in Alabama will be sent there to train for their jobs. The project consists of six buildings. Two dorms, a cafeteria, a workout facility and two classroom buildings all in all a $15 million project so Ron has a lot of responsibility ahead. This project has a completion date of July 10th, 2010. So here is the plan: Ron will be working in Mobile, AL in White-Spunner's home office on Monday's and Friday's. He will be traveling to Selma (which is two hours away) to be on site for the project on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays. We will be making our home in Spanish Fort, AL which is a suburb of Mobile and we are closing on our new home next week! It's a very exciting time and also has been a little stressful. Ron has already started working in Mobile and actually this if the FOURTH week he's been away from home! That's right, Grant and I have been roughing it in Auburn all by ourselves! I actually had my last day of work last Friday and so far unemployment is not sitting well with me. Probably because I'm anxious about the move and I'm bored out of my mind! I've decided to hold off a while before trying to find another job. With a baby on the way I don't want to start a new career in the midst of traveling to NC for showers, settling in a new home and waiting for Grant's arrival. Ron and I have been very smart this past year in Auburn and saved our pennies like mad (living in the apartment was a huge help!) so luckily we'll be able to afford this luxury for awhile. In the meantime we are missing eachother like crazy and ready to settle down once again. I have been anxiously awaiting this move pretty much the entire time I've been in Auburn. I knew eventually we would move further south and thank goodness it's finally here. I don't think it's a secret that I was never too fond of Auburn, I just grew bored here very quickly and had a hard time making friends in this college town. Mobile brings sooo many new possibilities. It's about a 45 minute drive to the Gulf Shores and if any of you have been there you'll understand why I'm excited about this. Their beaches are gorgeous! White sand, crystal clear blue water and the friendliest people you've ever met. Ron and I also look forward to being close to our good friends, Kimmy and Nathan Cox. So this is your open invitation! If anyone would like to travel our way this summer, you are more than welcome anytime! Also, sorry about the split picture above, I promise to post new pictures soon so you can get a better idea of what our new abode looks like!
