Well, Dean has accepted the offer in Austin. He will be back with the company that he was laid off from in February. He will be official tomorrow. That means May 1 we are back on insurance! That will be great. It is a very good thing that he doesn't lose seniority - he starts back at having been there for three years. It is very unfortunate that they did not start him back at his pay level - in fact it is close to 12,000 less than when he left. The cost of living is higher in Austin. Disappointing to say the least.
He starts to work on Monday. In Austin. Or Dallas. We aren't sure yet.
As soon as he gets to Austin, he will be looking for a house. We don't want to be separated for too long. We do have a wedding coming very soon. Two months from today, Joy Anna and Jeremy will be honeymooning in Hawaii. Do we move before the wedding? After the wedding? Thankfully, they will pay for us to be moved- a moving company will move us. They will even pack us. We plan to have a lot of that already done. We'll let them do the tv, the things on the wall, etc.
Now, we need to so some house hunting, some simplifying, hold a major garage sale, sell the VW, figure out how to cut a ton out of our budget, find a new church, new doctors, new vet, new everything. And then what do I do? Do I find a job? Do I try to work a photo business knowing that I could only be there for a year? And then what comes at the end of the year? Will they move him somewhere else? Will they find something for him in Austin? Will we be job hunting all over again?

Take a deep breath! Those things will come to you. Thankfully you have some income and insurance to hold you over for a while. I hope you look into your photography business. You are so talented! Also, you guys keep your eyes and ears open for something else in the time being... Something wonderful could be around the corner! And it doesn't hurt to keep your options open.
