Blogging to Resume in Mid-August

Some of my readers may be wondering why I haven't posted much lately. It's because for the past month and for the next few weeks to come, my wife and I have been swamped with the details of selling our house in Las Vegas, moving to South Bend, Indiana, and working to finalize the adoption of our daughter, Janelle.

Things are coming together. The movers arrive on 7/22 to get our stuff. Escrow signing and adoption finalization take place on 7/23. On the morning of the 24th, my dad, myself, and the two cats will embark on a long 1800-mile drive to South Bend. We're going to try to make it in two days. Once our stuff is moved in, we'll fly back to Vegas. After saying goodbyes to family and friends, my wife, my daughter, and myself will then be leaving Las Vegas for good on 8/4. We should arrive in South Bend as a family around 8/10.
