We always knew it was a possibility.  We were optimistic and hoping otherwise but life has conspired against us so that we have no choice.  We'll be moving back to Phoenix at the end of April.  Our ten months in Oregon have been mixed.  On the one hand we are thrilled to be here in the nice weather and nice scenery and familiar circumstances.  But on the other hand we are not at all happy with the fact that our house in Arizona hasn't sold.  We can no longer manage paying for both residences.  That leaves us with only one option: we have to move back

My current employer is wonderful in all of this.  They have agreed to let me work part of the time from my home in Phoenix and part of the time here in the Oregon office.  That is good because I really enjoy working for this company. 

For the next few weeks we will be very very busy getting everything done for the move.  But it will be worth it.
