Heartache...

I have been debating back and forth about whether or not to write about our day yesterday, but finally decided that most of you would want to know.  Mitchell got a call late last night and was informed that Ericsson is stopping it's R&D work in Boulder by March next year.  It honestly feels like someone died, that is the only way to describe it.  We have been part of the Ericsson family (in Boulder) for 10+ years now and they are truly part of our family in Colorado.  It is almost surreal that we can't go home to what was.  Mitchell has had such a fantastic journey there and completely fell in love with his job, the atmosphere, the work and especially the people.  I can't even begin to tell you how awful we feel for all of our friends who are now losing their jobs.  I will be praying for a miracle...a miracle to keep this amazing group of (super productive and dedicated) people together.  Mitchell says it was just a business decision, but a huge mistake in my opinion.  What does this mean for us?  We have no idea.  We are still in China for 2 years, but won't have a job to "go home" to when we return.  We are trying not to focus on it too much because it is so far off, but our hearts go out to our friends who are dealing with it now.
