Big News

We’re moving back to the US! There I said it. I’ll wait just a little until that sinks in to explain how we got here. (Pause.)

Due to the economic down-turn (understatement of the century) Caterpillar notified us a couple weeks ago, that we needed to head stateside. The good news is that thanks to a lot of the managers that took the buy-out package, there are some great jobs available. And luckily Tim’s secured something that he’s really excited about and will be taking us to Aurora, IL (right outside of Chicago.) The bad news is that we’re just not quite ready to leave Germany. We’ve loved it here and as Tim said, it’s like watching the first half of a really great movie. But, we’re truly thankful that Tim still has a job and we’ll be seeing a lot more of friends and family. Oh…did I mention we’ll be home by April 1st? Yeah…it’s all happening at lightning speed.

So there it is…Aurora. Chicago-land here we come! On to the next adventure...

Sounds like you guys were on an expat package. They're quite often the first to go after the buy-outs.

At least Tim still has a job, though.

I wish you guys all the best back in the US.
