Well, I just love sharing good news. Last year my dh changed job and they wanted us to move. They agreed to let us stay in Houston for a year. Well the year is up soon and they were making noise again about us moving. Bummer.
We know that moves can be wonderful. Every move we have made has brought us new friends and experiences. We know God has plans for us wherever we go. But we REALLY wanted to stay. Especially with the boys at ages 16 and 13, this is their home. We have been here just over 8 years, the longest we have lived anywhere.
I have a wonderful network here. And my dh is feeling settled, too.
Well, today after his review his boss said the big cheeses discussed it and we can stay! They are happy with how he has handled things here, as his customers are all here or nearby. It is officially 'off the table' so we can relax! And do those projects we had planned to further customize our house to our liking.
Hooray!
My dh is driving in from Dallas tonight and wants to tell the boys himself. They will be so happy. :)

WOW!! Weren't we just talking about this yesterday!!
How wonderful! I was feeling sorry for myself thinking of you moving away. Even though I don't get to see you very often, thinking that I never would makes me crazy!
Yes, we were! When J's boss called him aside after the meeting to discuss 'relo' he thought it was going to go the other way.. :( but was so happy when it went the right way!
Boys were so happy when he told them last night about 10:30... :)
I know, Karen... I wish I saw you more, but I know you are there!
Thank good ness for blogs.. I can see your kids grow up! lol
Yea!! I'll be that relieves a lot of stress!
I'm glad to read this too. I like knowing you're my neighbor. :)
Doesn't your dh work at home though? Not sure how that all works (and please don't feel you have to explain anything).
Hi Cay.. no problem!
My dh changed jobs last year and went to work for a company that was starting up a sales office in Dallas and they wanted us to move there.
After we asked if we could stay, they agreed to letting him work out of Houston (our house) for a year the we were to move.
All his customers are in Hosuton or LA (he goes to N.O. and Baton Rouge often). The year is about up and the big guys were still wanting him to work out of Dallas, but I think they saw it was working well here so they decided to make this permament.
We just hope it stays that way!
And yes, he is working home full time, though he does see customers and travel some. Like this week he is gone more than home, but some weeks is home more than gone.
Tmi? lol! Thanks for asking...
