Moving to Texas - Update
Well things are moving along with our planned move to Texas. Elsy’s dad has entered into escrow on both properties which should end at the end of February for both. We have decided that instead of paying the owner rent for the next 6 months that we are going to Austin instead.
The difference would be paying $2500/month to stay in California in the houses that we are in right now or pay $750/month for all of us in a town home in Austin. We like the Austin idea better. What this means is that Elsy is going to quit her job and not work again until after Dan Jr. is born. It also means that all of our plans are escalated, as far as visiting people before we leave California and figuring out what we are going to take and what we are going to leave.
Also, that means that I need a job in Austin. I have already have had several phone interviews and actually have my 2nd and 3rd interview with a company on Tuesday. If all goes well (which they and I think it will), I will be flying out to Austin this coming week for a face-to-face interview and to accept an offer. The nice thing about this position is that the minimum salary for it is what I am making now, so our budget will be literally unaffected.
Anyway, sometimes things work out a little sooner then you expect and that seems to be the case here.
