My husband is in California for a conference for the next three days and I just called him to tell him about the news alert I just got. The company he works for just sold the division that he works in, so he won't really know what that means to him. He works with more than one group, so it could go either way. He's very marketable, and had ten job offers to consider when he chose the job here in Austin, so I'm not worried at all. Since then, he's gained a lot of experience and recognition in his field since we came here in 2000. Stand by to see what this means. Should be interesting!
This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share. We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months. There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport. You have no idea. I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone. We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate. She's excited and nervous to go to America with us. She can say more than 100 words in English so far. Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig." She says it more like pig-uh. We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan....

So this morning immediately after receiving the email about the acquisition, I called Kelly in his hotel room in California.
Within fifteen minutes, one of his coworkers called home, looking for him. He didn't realize Kelly was traveling this week. So he called Kelly in California and gave him a few more details.
Kelly called me back...and Kelly is part of the acquisition. It's a Taiwanese company, and we're not moving to Taiwan, that's for sure. But I don't know what all entails and neither does Kelly.
I'll keep everyone posted!
Keep us posted. im anxious to hear.
just read Conni's comment...has anyone else moved since we left???
Hang in there... this stuff can be stressful, anxious, sort of exciting - in a weird way, but I know Kelly will land in a good place - most likely staying right where you are!
Acquisitions don't always mean a 100% change.
