Due to the economy issues, Micron is downsizing yet again by about 1500. This is scary news but Kyle's not going to be touched (this time around again). He says that they are pouring money into the research and development area, which is where he's at and also they are cutting production of a certain size of wafers (have Kyle explain that to you if don't understand because your guess is as good as mine). Kyle's working on another more modern size wafer and they're wanting to increase production of that size and so that's fortunate for us. Whew! I just have had this fear in the back of my mind that one night while I'm sleeping, he's gonna call me and be like, "We have to get out of the house ASAP!" What a terrifying thought especially since the house market stinks right now! As of now, we'd lose about $20-30,000 and that's something we cannot afford at all!! But alas, we're not too worried just yet but keep us in your thoughts as Micron starts to feel the burn of the weakened economy. We don't know what we would do exactly if he were to actually be laid off--we'd probably try to stay here but more than likely, we'd probably end up moving somewhere else, whether it be back to ATL or some other bigger metropolitan area. I just hope that we both can finish our Master's degrees before anything like that happens. :)
Love always.
