The "wheels"are in motion...Scott put in his retirement eligibility paperwork yesterday. He will be retiring from the Air Force July 2009. We talked to a realtor on Monday and will talk to another one tonight...6% takes an enormous bite out of our house's equity which is pretty slim anyway since we have only been here for one year...so we are looking for alternative options to sell. We haven't shown our house yet...still trying to declutter and get it show ready. Guess we've been dragging our feet a bit on that....its just a wee bit scary knowing this is the final move.
No word on jobs yet but most of them closed on Monday so hopefully in the next few weeks I'll hear something wonderful...in the meantime I've gone and lost my mind and agreed to take the kids to San Antonio for the WEEKEND...yep that is right a two day visit...20 hour drive each way...why did I go and do such a thing? I'm not sure...two weeks ago I thought it would be a piece of cake...now reality is setting in. True we need a vacation and all...Cody has been a great help taking care of the kiddos during the day...but 40 hours in a car??? What was I thinking....
I am praying hard that a job will open up and we can 1. either STAY there or 2. reschedule the trip and plan a permanent move later on in the summer.
Oh, I'll be looking at our "dream" home while we are there too....its the first and only home that Scott and I have ever agreed that we both like...it is currently under construction and due to be completed end of the month....3 acres and LOTS of trees.... Not sure at this point if that is going to happen for us since we need to work on the job transfer and the sale of home first....I have a tendency to put my cart before my horse...I'm trying to work on that...I need lots of help, my mind stays in the clouds most of the time :)
It got up to the high 90s here yesterday!!! But by late evening a north wind had kicked in and now it is in the 50s again. My poor plants took a beating and I had to revive them with an extra drink of water but they seem to be doing ok.

Oh my heck you really have gone and lost your mind...40 hours in a car UFF DA!!! Drive safe and enjoy the warmth. It's gonna be hot baby! YEA!
Oh my! So much going on! 40 hours in a car in a weekend?!! I pray it works out for you. As far as putting the horse before the cart, maybe, but maybe it's just positive thinking and knowing where you want to go. Good luck with everything!! Wish I was still going to be in TX to meet you, well not wishing I was staying in North TX but wishing I was meeting you. ;)
Lots going on in your life!!!! Drive safe -- enjoy the trip!
Thanks for the update! I don't know if I could do 40 hours in a car--you are the road trip champion, Kim! :-)
