Just don't send me back to Kansas!

I've not been posting entries as often as I said I would - but I'm here now so that's a start! Things are looking better for my husband and I. Next week, he has 2 interviews lined up (one for a job in Tampa and one for a job in Augusta, GA) and 1 the following week (for a job in Jacksonville). He's also got a lead for a position in Arlington, VA that he will most likely get an interview for soon.

We've talked about it at length and have decided that we'd be happy in any of these places. Of course we'd prefer to stay in Florida but we'll play it by ear until the offers start rolling in. One thing we're considering is the fact that I might not be able to find a good paying job in Augusta, which makes Tampa and Jax more attractive - however my husband did make the comment that if that were the case, we could start having children and I could stay home (which I would love) or I could maybe open up my own business (which I would also love). Regardless, I will probably stay here until December for several reasons...one, I just got a promotion at work; two, I promised my boss I wouldn't abandon her during the busiest months of the year; three, I would be able to take one more class towards my MA degree; and four, it would give me more time to try and find a decent paying job (which is sometimes hard in my field).

I love change, so this isn't all that traumatic. It's actually kind of exciting to think that soon we might be starting a new life somewhere! As long as that "somewhere" isn't in the midwest (been there, done that, hated it) or northeast (too cold) I'll be good to go.
