DH and I returned on Wednesday from a rural area in IL. He had an interview. We were/are pretty excited about the opportunity. He once again really like the people he would be working with. He was not the happiest about the cleanliness of the facility but said he could truly work past it because it wasn't the biggest factor at all. After leaving the area I researched a housing site online and found 4....yes you heard me correctly 4 homes that are available in the area with 4 BR, 2 BA.....None would work for us due to locations and such. But, we have decided we will cross that bridge when we come to it.
DH leaves on Sunday for 3 interviews in Houston. Two are viable options the other one is more of a "back up plan" type job. He wants to be back in TX. And if I honestly think about it I wouldn't mind being in warmer weather. After 34 years of MI weather I am ready for a change...I do feel like my kids may be missing a lot of things not being in the MI weather but what can you do when a job must be found and there is nothing in the this dying state.......
DS12 will start school next week.....very lightly.....he will be reading Carry On Mr. Bowditch. The following week he will start full time. DD6 will be starting PS on the Tuesday after Labor Day. We are excited for her and she is ready to go be with other children. She truly does thrive there. It is amazing to me that my children can be so different. That an environment that crippled my son can truly help my daughter flourish...such is life.

Changes ahead!!!
I have been contemplating starting a blog for a while.
With the inevitable family transplant that is about to happen due to restructuring at DHs work now is the perfect time.
I will post to keep family and friends posted of everything happening and to hopefully avoid the "I feel so out of the loop" feeling we have all experienced when we feel like we are the last to know something.
I will post about the kids, homeschooling, our gluten free journey, DHs job hunt, adjusting to our new community (wherever that may end up), etc.
I will start with DH is in South TX interviewing tomorrow. He will return Friday. He will then leave again next Friday for another interview but this time it will be in the town near his parents.
Hence, the title of my blog. It does not look like anything is going to pan out locally and all of the recruiters that are helping him find a new job/career tend to find everything in the South.
I am nervous about all of the change that will happen with my family but in the end I know it will be okay and we will all be better people because of it. I have to be honest though...I am not looking forward to having to teach DS(12) TX state history since I will be learning it with him and history is just not my thing.
