ShannonAlbert.com - June 2009

Andy has been off work now for about 10 days and this has been the first week with Blake. They've been having fun and spending time together and have met me for lunch a couple of times. (Payton is in KC for the week).

He's going to Texas on July 13 to meet with Lockheed. We may go with him for the weekend to do some scouting in the area.

I feel really fortunate that Andy has a good option for a job given that so many people don't right now. However, having said that, this is hard, y'all. We didn't want to move Payton. We don't want to lose money selling our house. We don't want to drive 8 hours to KC all the time. We don't want to move Payton....and we don't want to move Payton. I know she will adjust and I know she'll be fine but it's heartbreaking...and it's not our fault.

Dan's restaurant officially opens tomorrow to the public but this weekend was for family and friends to enjoy. To say that we are proud of him and super crazy excited would be an understatement. When he went from a restaurant manager to a corporate job some years ago, we stayed up at night talking about how he *needed* to have his own restaurant because it was obviously his calling and what he's really good at. The barrier to entry is scary for a not-rich person but after years of perseverance, he finally made it. What's even better is that we are big fans of Genghis Grill food and of the Power and Light District. A collision of mega awesomeness if you ask me.

There were lots of pictures taken of the night but here's 1 album that was put together by Tom.
