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!
Here's a cute little picture of me in kindergarten, 1968. All my life, I've never forgotten this shot below in first grade (1969) when the photog asked me to say "peaches" and he snapped the shot at the "ch" sound. If you're trying to get a kid to smile, don't tell them to say peaches. It's scarred me for life. Mom, what the heck happened to my hair? Did I fix it myself? After all, I was in second grade and very capable. My grandma crocheted that groovy vest for me, but who is responsible for the hack job on my hair? Hello, 1970! Who knows where my third grade picture is. We moved so often, changing schools, that I might have missed picture day. Next is my fourth grade mug shot. I must have sworn off bangs by then. Thank goodness for those plastic barrettes to deal with the in-between length. Notice how every year I wore green? Yeah, it's been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. I don't have an actual school pic of me in f...

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.
