FINALLY, the buy out of Sierra Health Services by UnitedHealth Group is DONE! I don't know why I'm complaining, it is Jon that has had to live this nightmare for the past year or more. It is amazing all the hoops that had to be jumped through to gain the approval of the federal government. The lawyers, that have jobs, just to assist companies that are being bought and companies that are trying to purchase other companies. It has been a very INTERESTING process!
Tomorrow, Jon goes to work, in his same office, but has a new "boss". My heart is hoping for the best, that it all goes smoothly, that the "boss" is as good as he seemed during the acquisition process. I just keep telling myself that this is what he has been working for for the past several years. Every time that he was missing a family function or vacation and I said, "Oh, something has come up at work.", that was code for, "a company is looking to buy Sierra." When that would happen, life would pretty much stop, and all energy would be focused on making a presentation and trying to get an offer. It was always a big secret, and sometimes it was a little inconvenient, but when things finally worked with United, it was all worth it. I never expected it would take soooooo long to become final. (I am very naive.)
Dr. Marlon has been a wonderful employer. He has been very good to Jon and our family. We have been so blessed.
Here's to a new era, with a new employer. Thanks Jon, for working so hard for those of us at home! WE LOVE YOU!!!
GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!!

Congratulations! We are so happy for you guys! Jon, what an accomplishment and true validation of what you have established at Sierra. Mason and I had a great time with the crew tonight at the Clippers game. Thanks again, and I'm glad we exchanged blog information so we can keep up with the Bunkers! We love Tod very much and are lobbying to have him move into our second bedroom. :)
