What a difference a year makes...

I started this effort just 14 months ago and man how things have changed!!! I am back to living alone again (or as Lori likes to call it, working out of town), I made it almost to the "top of the ladder" in my company only to be sent back down a couple of rungs after just one year. That hurts on a lot of levels. We are once again trying to get a home sold (at a loss, again) but the biggest difference of all is that I truly have no idea what I will be doing career wise when this latest move is over. That might make for some interesting posts going forward.

When it is all said and done I will be fine as long as Lori and the kids are still there to come home to, whenever and wherever that is.

Until next time...

Life goes on, regardless..

Today the world lost a great person. Reva Orton was an example to many people in ways that she will never realize. To me she was down to earth, humble, genuinely concerned for others, I could go on and on. Reva's story is one of hard work, honesty and tenacity during tough times. It is also about family and about the fact that in this great country often times people are rewarded for a life time of hard work and Reva would be the the to point this out.

Lin and Reva Orton founded the Lins organization in Cedar City, Utah in 1955. It was my work at that company and for that great family that has given my family the that we enjoy opportunities today.

Thank you Lin and Reva for showing the rest of us a great example of The Greatest Generation. Thank you Rod, Ray and Ster for all that you have done for me and my family.
