A few loose ends...

Next Trip
Friday we leave for Glacier. Nicole is coming with me on Friday to rough it in the lodges with me until Tuesday. The guys are arriving on Friday, Wednesday and Friday which makes for some interesting logistics -- but we are going to have an incredible time.

18 Month Plan
For work, we are working on:
- two weeks to Colombia (Bogata) in September
- two weeks to Switzerland (Geneva) in October
- two weeks to Switzerland (Geneva) in November

which, I found out today, for my new role is practice for the literally 25-30 weeks I will spend next year in Europe. It looks like I will be gone completely January and June - September, with a multitude of two week trips peppered in from February - May. My primary developer is moving to Europe for 9 months.

Job
I have not been really able to talk about it, but I quit my job effective end of the month (45 days notice) to start September 5th with this new gig. I am almost done saying goodbye to all of my mentors, colleagues, and peeps -- but it has not been easy. 9 1/2 years is just a long time.

House Plans
This travel definitely affects when we can get a new house. I am going to scramble to get everything ready for December, but in all likelihood we will try to sell in February on our own -- and if that doesn't work, hire a realtor for March.
