Our New Addition

We are thrilled to announce that arriving this August in the Anderson home will be a little packet of joy. This is something we've waited a long time for, talked about and mulled significantly. It just hasn't been in the cards until now. No specific name yet, but under general guidelines, we'll call them "BYU football tickets" (yeah, I know, I'm awful).

Why, you might ask (and rightfully so), would a family of Omahecks be getting tickets to games played in Utah?

Is it because the home opener is against Northern Iowa and my friend and co-worker is an alum and former wide-out from NIU? No, that isn't the reason.

Is it because we are so "fully invested" that we are willing to buy tickets to support the team even though we live 1000 miles away? Nope.

OK, are we planning Friday Night Drives to Provo six times this fall? Certainly plausible, but wrong again.

We're pioneering the "Scalping Plan" to put the boys through missions and college? Uh-uh.

Scrapbooking afficianados? So not us!

We will be charging admission to our basement when we get Direct TV and can access the Cougar games, and needed a template for the tickets? Great idea... but no.

Then why, you ask.

Let us tell you...

Union Pacific has offered me a very attractive position in our SLC office. I'll still be in the Marketing & Sales group, but with a group of Utah, Idaho and Nevada customers. We are moving this summer.

It is with mixed emotions that we leave Omaha, even though the intention is to return to Omaha in a few years after gaining this valuable experience. We have come to consider this place our home, and are glad to know that, in my department at least, all roads lead back to Omaha. And that's why this blog address will remain the same.

There's more to the story (some pretty good, some pretty hard). Which we'll be glad to share at a later date.

Right now, all the energy is focused on selling the house and finding the right school for Tate in Salt Lake.

Be good,

-Omahecks
