Welcome to our new life in Wyoming

The EnerCrest Building in Big Piney, Wyoming

The New EnerCrest Building: a work in progress

Tomorrow begins our first real day of our adventure. We're moving from our home metropolis of Salt Lake City, Utah (Population: 1,000,000 plus) to the tiny town of Marbleton, Wyoming (Population: 700, plus or minus). The movers will pack things up in the morning, we'll close on the new house in the afternoon, and we'll take delivery of our stuff on Wednesday. We're thrilled to have this opportunity.

Julie, James, Anna, and I are all very excited about the changes this will mean in our lives. We're looking forward to a slower pace of life, to a chance to work for a young and exciting and dynamic company, and to be closer to the outdoors that we've loved for so many years. We'll finally be able to buy a home with a yard

There are a few downsides to small town life. Some we're aware of (We'll be about 30 minutes from a regular grocery store, although most of the locals have told me that they go to Green River [about 100 miles away] once a month to take care of their major shopping.), and I'm certain that there will be plenty of things to surprise us.

As part of our move, we're creating this blog to share the things that happen in our life. As long as we have electricity and internet service, we'll try and keep things updated.

That's it for tonight. We'll let you know how things go with the close and the move.
