Yeah, that's right. Sometime we are going to be moving...at least, we'll have orders by next march (2011) so in my world it's time to start thinking about it!
Right now, we're looking at Tucson...why? Well, Davis-Monthan AFB is down there. The job would be like it was for Jared in Texas...back shop stuff, tear the plane apart, put it back together..the stuff he loved. The weather...probably alot like Mesquite...it's a deseret. There's also a good possibility of no deployments.
Living here has been the longest we've lived anywhere in our married life. I've gotten used to it I guess. I feel settled down, finally. That's ending tho...so starts the researching that I am so anal about. I'm looking at homes, school districts, neighborhoods, the communte....trying to weigh the possibilities...see what fits our life the best. We still want to have a bit of a 'normal' life down there...so looking at the suburbs. On base has some good benefits for us...but we just aren't sure if that's something we really want to deal with. Why would we pay $1100 to live in a duplex when we could pay the same to buy a much bigger house with a bigger yard and in a real neighborhood? Well, the commute I guess. Who knows what that is going to be like.
Of course, then the worrier in me starts to kick in. It took me 4 years to actually makes friends here...I mean, real friends...so I'll be starting over with that. The over-protective mom in me will also be super cautious about babysitters and such all over again. It'll probably be a few years before I do leave my kids with a babysitter. Then there's the 'critters' out there...do I really want to worry about rattlesnakes and scorpions?? I mean, Ellie is a curious little monster that messes with EVERYTHING! I don't want her picking up something like that....or finding something like that in our backyard, or worse, our house! I would freak!! On top of all that, there's the worry of selling our home and finding one in just the right time-line. Honestly, I know I worry so much but I'm not good at just 'going with the flow'. I don't want to buy a house, and end up hating it and not being able to sell it. Oh well, we might not even go there...but honestly, don't know where else we would go right now.
