Most of you already know, but this California vacation turned into a "stay"-cation! It's official...my family is moving to California within a month! I will be a graphic artist for my brothers' companies (the main one is called Optimal Owner Care), and my husband will be working in sales. We've put in an application on a rental place in southern Orange county, but we haven't heard anything yet. We are still looking, though...so much to do for this move! I will be SO busy for a while, but hopefully things will settle down in September. I already have about 540 ads to produce!! Yipes!!! I have so much to learn!

Congrats!! I'm really happy for you.

Congrats Springie!!!!!!!

Fantastic news Springie, hoping everything turns out as you're wishing it to...

Congratulation, Let us know how it's all going, once you settle in

Wow, Springie! That's definitely a change in lifestyle and occupation! I hope it all works out for the best! And... a month!!!!!.... Oh, wow - you do have a lot to do - good luck with it all!

Oh wow! Big changes for you and your family!! Best wishes and congratulations!

Wow! Big move indeed! Best of luck with the move, new job and everything!!! I hope it all goes so well for you all.

I'm so thrilled for you, Springie! I know how this is something you've been wanting for a long time.

Great news, Springie! Hope the move goes smoothly for you. California is a great place to live in spite of all of its faults.

Congratulations Springie! That is great new for you and your husband. I hope the move goes successfully and that you enjoy your new job.

Springie, that's wonderful! This trades the worries about work to worries about moving and housing, but it sounds as if it will be well worth it.

Congratulations Springie!!! Enjoy the sunshine!!!

Moving can be a pain, but this sure sounds like an exciting adventure too! I hope the transition goes as smoothly as possible and you and your family are settled in and comfy soon. You won't have to deal with snow or hurricanes anymore!

What can I say that hasn't been said already? I'll keep you in my thoughts while you make such a big move in such a short time!

Woo! Congrats Springie! I love to visit California!

Then you will have to see about coming out to the Con next year in July. I know the other Gatchcon members would love to see a new face.
