So, first we thought we were moving to Seattle, but then we find out CU is moving to Iraq. He gets back a year ago, and we realize we’re probably here in the DFW area for the long haul unless someone’s employer is willing to pay us to move somewhere else…because we’re cheap…and lazy…and don’t feel like packing up the house.

We replace the carpeting and add hardwood flooring, put in a custom closet in the master bedroom, install new landscaping in the front yard, remodel the laundry room…and I start graduate school again. We’re here. We’re staying put.

And then…then…CU is offered a job in North Carolina with a full relocation package. Have you ever noticed just when you start getting used to the idea of something and settle in…that’s usually when the wrench is thrown in? Yeah, me too. At least we hadn’t started renovating the kitchen, yet.

So…we have some decisions to make but right now, the pros are outweighing the cons by a pretty significant margin.

More to come… Update…never mind…the newly discovered “cons” swung us back the other way, and we’re staying put.

Next project…the pantry!
