Oh wow - that's a big change! My DH had a job in El Paso for about a year - we racked up a lot of airline miles during that time. I hope it works out to be a great benefit for ya'll. Hang in there!
Sorry about the "Bad Day", they sure reach out and "Grab" us from time to time. The opportunities can be exciting, but 11hrs away, depending on the direction, can certainly bring some big "Changes". I know you will/can adjust with them, I just hope that your "Horizon" broadens for you all, and your animals too.
So very sorry for your bad day. The new job for your dear man is 11 hours away? Which direction? Still staying in Texas? You know how much we all love to help relocate BYHers closer to other BYHers.
We're going South, back to the border towns! Freer is the closest "big" town.
I have to start watching for openings in stores around that area, but it's not likely. Honestly it'll probably be January before we move, at the earliest, but that really throws kinks in things.
