News from the Youngblood Family
Hey everyone, I’ve decided to start using a great new tool called Posterous to make it a little easier to post my adventures to the web. So please head over to blog.youngbloods.org and subscribe to my RSS feed so that you can stay informed about what’s happening in my life. Kami (and maybe myself) will continue to post here occasionally, or we may consolidate things at some point if she ends up liking posterous too.
Hello everyone! After a long hiatus we have finally added some news to our blog. Most of you probably know this already, but Carl recently accepted a job at TANDBERG in Norway.

We’ve been selling some things we can’t take with us, like the cars (they were old anyway) and some of the furniture. Carl’s brother, Ben, is buying a new home, so the timing was good to offload some of our stuff onto him. We also sold some of it on ksl.com and craigslist.
Another big part of getting ready was trying to slim down the amount of stuff we wanted to bring with us. We have ordered one of the new Nook eReaders from Barnes and Noble, and are digitizing many of our books, albums and movies so that we can bring them all over on a hard drive instead of in a bunch of heavy boxes. Carl made a Youtube video about this process:
