Well, it is official, we are moving to Mexico. Not New Mexico, Mexico Mexico. Check in our archive for a post titled, "Ever been here?" to read more about Saltillo, the city where we will be spending the next 3 years. La-Z-Boy is building a plant in Saltillo and Tyler accepted an offer to move there and be the Controller. The plant will not be open until January 2009, but we will probably move down in August so that the kids can start the school year with everyone else. We are very excited about this opportunity, but know it will be very hard to move away from our family and friends.
For those of you that don't know, Tyler is the controller here at the La-Z-Boy plant in Redlands. The new plant in Mexico is almost 3 times the size of the Redlands plant. Right now Tyler has 3 employees in his accounting department, in Mexico, he will be over about 10 employees and he will report directly to the corporate controller (same guy he reports to now). The plant in Saltillo will be roughly 750,000 sq. feet under roof. Tyler was hand picked to be on the team that put this whole project together. He has dedicated hours and hours of time to this project on top of his regular responsibilites over the last 8 months. I am so proud of him and so grateful for having a husband who is motivated, ambitious, and dedicated to providing for his family.
Tyler's first order of business... buy a new car. Here it is, an Infiniti G35 in slate blue.

Wow!!! Congratulations!! That will be a really amazing opportunity- in so many aspects too! For you, the kids and for Tyler- how awesome! Congrats! Although, I am sad that you will be leaving!! Tell Tyler we say congrats!!
What an exciting adventure! I'm sure it will be hard to be away from family, but what a great experience and all while the kids are young. Enjoy it and keep updating! I love to see how your beautiful family is doing!
Wow - Mexico! That's awesome. So, do you or Tyler already know Spanish? I'd love that opportunity - I speak Spanish to my kids and they actually attend a Spanish Immersion program here in Austin. That'll be nice for your kids to know two languages. Tell Tyler the Infiniti G35 is a fantastic car - I own a 2003 and I have loved it! It's the perfect mix between a Daddy sedan and a fast, sporty car.
wow congrats!! will you still be doing Stamin up?
