Re: your possible move to TX

It sounds like you have some people and support there - that would be a huge plus for a move that far.

As far as climate - if humidity and heat aren't your thing, you will be miserable there.
I have a friend who is originally from there - she hated the climate. Her and her hubby were military - but after they married and started a family, she got out. Husband was career, an officer...and when he got out they could go virtually anywhere. They ended up with the best job offer (and grandparents of course ;) ) in the Houston area - so they moved there. (She was happiest stationed in Alaska - so you KNOW she hates TX weather!)

My only other experience was also in the Houston area - the brother of a good family friend ended up moving back to MN with his family d/t the gang problems down there. He was an executive, lived in a great area (as much as possible), but he and his wife just couldn't justify the risk to their kids down there. :(
I saw that you have kids...so it's a concern. :/

I looked the town up on the map...looks to be decent sized with good access to bigger cities when you need it, but with lots of rural area right outside the town. Good luck!

:( After a week at home I am back at work. I love taking time off to just be at home. I got to play Pokemon with the kids, help with school, and just hang out with them. I also got work done in the goat yard. I put in a new gate that they have yet to figure out how to get through, lets hope that it stays that way :fl I also learned the Queen Bea likes to be a mommy goat. Last night when I went to milk her she had none. I knew this means that someone has been nursing, well her doeling is in another yard so I know it's not her. Well I let her out of the shed and brought in Rosie and got a little more, I know that I won't get much from her because she has two nursing. Well when I let Rosie out there was Bea nursing the babies. :he So last night I worked on moving all the goats to new places so no one could nurse on Bea. The best part about this is that I now know that she will take other babies if I need her to.

Well I guess that I should get to work, I mean I've been gone for a week so there is some stuff that I need to do. Oh I forgot to mention that "THE" CEO will be in town today so everyone is stressing out.

I am going through a real rough time with work right now. I am not at a point where I can go into details I will leave it that I am having problems with the same person again. Managment has done nothing and I don't know how I am going to manage standing up to a culture of corruption and un ethical behavior in the company. I am going to fight this I have to it just hard. All I really want to do is run away from the problem and let someone else deal with it, but I can't. So any postive thoughs and prayers would be welcome for me and my father who works here too.

Thank you all for being here for me, even if I have never seen you.

For those who beleive in spirtiual attack (and even those who don't) please send as much prayer coverage as you can for me and my family. My fater and I are under attack at work and I am not sure how much longer either one of us can last. We are in an area with little to know coverage from within. If you need any information please PM and I will provide what info I can.
