I've been posting about our difficulties with L on Parent Emeritus, and kind of following up there most of the time. But this is big news, so I'm sharing here because I know all you PE'ers read here, too.
husband was hired for a position in Charlotte NC. He has 3 weeks to his start date. His pay will be 1.75 times what he makes now, but it is a 1 year temp job at an energy company. I'm not so worried about that part of it. He specializes in a particular type of software administration that the Veterans Affairs is just implementing in all of it's offices, and you know how many veterans facilities there are down there. I don't know, maybe we're being foolish, but we could pay off our credit cards in a year and still live a better lifestyle than we do now. Then at least we wouldn't be under a mountain of debt.
I'm looking (for now) at homes in the Rock Hill, SC area. In fact there's one on the market that I'd move into tomorrow if I could at such a great price! Hopefully we won't have any problems selling ours.
I'm sure that we will be taking a trip together down there to get him set up. I'll want to drive around and see what's what, too. Holy Cats, ladies, someone is going to have to explain a whole lot of Southern stuff to me !
(FWIW, I'm only telling a few people for now. I need to tell my boss, friends, etc. so I'm not putting this on my FB page for now. Help me keep it quiet until I'm ready? Thanks!)
