Our big news

Since the word is (mostly) out I thought I had better put a little post on here. This Marlow family is moving to Omaha. Mike got offered a job with "Holiday Bright Lights", which is the company that he purchased all his Christmas product for Christmas Creations. Yes, his new job is year round. Mike already lives in Omaha with his Aunt Joyce. For those of you that don't know-Mike is originally from Omaha. His sister, nephew and a lot of his aunts, uncles, and cousins all live there. He is excited about being near all his friends from high school again.

Libby and I are staying in Sioux City until our house is sold. We are getting it ready to put on the market-hopefully in the next month. We are hoping to have our first open house the first weekend in March. I sure hope the weather is a little better than last year at that time! We are also in the process of selling our Christmas business.

We have been looking for a new place to live in Omaha. We can't really do anything except look right now since there are so many unknowns with our house. Call me a skeptic but I see too many things go wrong with closings everyday. Plus, the market is rather slow right now with it being winter, the weak economy, and the housing/mortgage crisis. Sioux City's market isn't as bad off as some parts of the country but it is still rather slow. Our house is pretty nice so I have mixed feelings about how quickly it will sell.

I will eventually look for a new job in Omaha. As soon as we get a little settled in Omaha (buying or renting), Libby and I are going to fly to Michigan for 3 or 4 weeks. After my nice long vacation I might try to look for a (hopefully) part time job IF we can find a daycare that I am comfortable with. I have no for sure plans right now. I am NOT excited about looking for a new job or daycare. I am very happy with both here in Sioux City so they are going to be a tough act to follow!!
