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!
We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

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.
