Girls like to talk...

I was putting Katelyn to bed the other night, and she thought she wasn't tired yet. She then started telling me stories about the pretend bath her Mickey doll was taking in her bathtub. She has always been a talker, but this time she explained why. She told me "Girls talk a lot, Dad. And I'm a girl. I have a lot to say." I told her that was great, but if she wanted to keep talking, then I had to leave. If she wanted me to stay on the floor next to her bed for 4 minutes (because she's 4 years old), then she'd have to zip it. This worked, and very soon she was out like a log.

Life update (work, house, etc.)

Sorry it has taken me so long to post again. After my trip to Arizona, I emailed both VCommerce and CareFX to follow up, but have not heard back from anyone. It seems that is the new way companies like to tell someone they're not pursuing you anymore...silence. So, we have decided to accept Novell's offer to work remotely, and thus are now just focused on selling the house and looking for the right one down in Arizona. Our last chat with the realtor told us that the market in Utah is as it is elsewhere, slow. People are apparently more worried about the economy than about buying our house. Cassi thinks it's rude, so I guess we'll just have to be patient. We have had 3 people come through, but the last of them was about 3 weeks ago. However, the weather is just starting to get nice, so we're hoping that will get people in a more buying mood. Plus, the green grass will look better for selling than the snow-topped roof will.

On the family front, we had Megan's 2nd birthday last Sunday (Cassi will post pictures of that later), and we're all gearing up for Easter this Sunday. So far, I'm just doing OK in my March Madness brackets, but I've been so out of really following sports for so long, that I'm always surprised to get any points.
