Psht...and if you believe that title then I have some Oceanfront property in Arizona to sell to you! We're currently sitting two days out from when Pat finishes his overseas tour and yet we still don't have orders on anything! Yeah, yeah...he told me not to worry about anything...but sometimes I think he forgets who he's married to. Worrier...party of ONE...right here.
I'm still looking at homes in the Austin area, since we at least know WHERE we are moving to, but it's really difficult to start to pick anything when you don't have a time frame on WHEN you'll be there. By the way...just in case anyone doesn't know...it's really difficult finding properties to rent when you have pets. I'm about at the point that if I knew we'd be there for a long time, I'd just start looking at homes to buy. However; since we'll only be there for a little over a year, there's no point.
Now I have to consider whether or not I allow my youngest daughter to stay here with either friends or family to finish out her school year before bringing her to Austin. Right now, I think we're seriously considering finding someone she can stay with to do that. I just don't see the point in pulling her out of school with just a couple months left in the school year, to drag her halfway across the country and start her in a completely different school just a few weeks before their school year ends. If we allow her to stay I know it will be in her best interest. She can just wrap up school here and start fresh on the next school year in Texas. It will give her a chance to meet some kids in the neighborhood over summer so that she has a few people she knows when school starts back. I just don't like knowing that we'd be in one state and she in another. What if something really bad happened? I don't know...we're still debating and weighing the pro's and con's of it all.
I really hate to leave where I'm working at as well. I love our management and the other associates. It's weird for me, in a way, to say that. My former job, it was just myself and two others working there. I got used to being in an office setting. I never thought I'd see the day when I said that I enjoyed working retail. However; I also never thought I'd see myself working where I do either...so I guess it all works itself out in the end. I just hate packing everything up and moving just when things really started pulling together here. The kid loves her school, she has some great friends and I have a job that I love and people that I love working with.
So, thanks again Dear Army. Once again we get to completely uproot and start all over again. And in another year, we'll be doing this same dance again. Maybe after that move we can stay somewhere for, oh..I don't know, a couple years before we have to move again? Do we think maybe that can happen? I doubt it.
