The last month has been very interesting for the Gadget family. We moved out of our Salt Lake home a week before closing so we could get the kids registered for school in Park City. Since then we have been moving from one place to another on a weekly basis awaiting the closing date on our new home.
Our contract closing date was Monday the 18th, but our closing docs were at the title company last Thursday. The 14th being Mrs. Gadget's birthday, I called her about 2 PM and asked what she was doing. "Working" was the reply I expected and received. I asked her if she would like to close on the house for her birthday and she said "REALLY?". I told her it wouldn't mean we get the keys any sooner, but it would be one less hurdle to cross.
Skipping ahead . . . . we got the keys to our new home last night! Considering we had been in our old house for nearly 17 years and migrant condo dwellers for the last month; it feels a bit strange, and exciting, to be moving into this new chapter of our lives. While I'm not looking forward to emptying a 45' trailer, I'm not enjoying living out of a suitcase. The trailer with all our worldly possessions arrives Friday morning. Good thing too, I didn't think to pack winter clothes in the middle of August.
I've also changed my cell number, so, as powstash put it, I can "fit in with the mucky-mucks." If you have my old number and want/need my new number, please send me a PM.
It feels good to be home.

The circle is nearly complete - My move to PC

He's not an 84060 snob
just another 84098 but still pretty dang cool to have IG living in the hood. (that said from a former 84098 guy living now in Kamakistan)
Anyone else up for helping out with the unloading of the Gaget family trailer on Friday or Sat?
edit- RB - was thinking about you today and wishing for a utah forcast. I wanna get some turns this weekend and NOAA.gov and other related sites just don't give me the reassurance that a good 'ol Red Baron Utah snow forecast thread does.

Not all people who live in the 84060 are snobs, mc_roon and I are good people

yentna and i are 84060 snobs in remission having moved to the '98. I do say I rather enjoy it out here.
kamakistan...that's funny.
Gadget, give me a call and let me know when you're unloading. I think I've recovered enough from our move to move things again.

I physically live in 84060 but my PO Box is 84068. Maybe I should average them and call it 84064.
Congrats IG, and welcome.
