Dan was given the go-ahead to put in for his transfer this morning (well, yesterday morning now, since it is after midnight). He will be taking all of the info he needs with him tomorrow (err... today) , and starting the ball rolling. We will see what happens ( Read more... )

If he gets this transfer, we will not be back until we are ready to survive on our own steam. At that point, we will be ready to put down roots too, I hope, so it is my hope that we have only this more plus one or two more in our future. I sincerely hope the nomadic stage is done by the time Abby is in school, anyway...

But where are you going? :)

We cannot afford to continue where we are. In the next few months, we must either have a new job for him where he is making more money, or go to where our safety net is (you know where). Since his months of job searching up here have not yielded any results for him, and the job market in this area is only getting worse, I started sifting through job listings down there. After all, if we end up having to go there, it would be better to have a job lined up before we get there, kwim ( ... )

Well, good luck! Though I do recall you were very, very unhappy there last time, and your safety net had some serious holes. Be careful, and yes, we shall hang! Feel better.

This is true, but there has been much discussion about how to ensure things are better this time. The main reason I was miserable there last time was because I had given up the ability to see my family and friends, only to end up not being able to see Dan either, because he was working 70-80 hours per week. That will not and can not happen this time, and he knows it. Not only for my sake, but also for the sake of his ability to (finally) finish school, which he had to quit last time we were down there because of said ridiculous work schedule. That is one of the things that makes this transfer possibility so attractive: he is a manager, but he is paid on an hourly basis, it is very unlikely that he will be asked to work more than 40 hours ( ... )
