We had an interesting meeting last evening with the relocation specialist. Learned some new information and also learned some things we were hoping for aren't going to happen as we thought. Today Mark met with his new boss from China who is here in the US this week. (He is an American who has lived over there with his wife and young kids the last 5 years) We will get a definate moving date asap but sounds like Sept 19th is the job start date.  Lots of bargaining going on behind closed doors. We are going for a preview visit to find housing the end of August for one week. Now I think things will start happening pretty fast. We still have things to work out and discover but I know the time will fly. We did find out the Jessica can come and visit us twice a year for free and we get a trip home once a year. We originally thought it was twice a year too, but oh well. Bryan and Sara are too old to be considered dependents anymore...at least according to 3M standards:) Since nothing is final I don't know what to do about my new job.
