Headed to Texas

Many of you know that I have looked at jobs in Texas for years because of the cost of living, but I haven't actually ever been to Dallas or Austin for that matter which is where I have been looking. So, Jen and I are taking a long weekend this weekend and are flying to Texas to see if we like the area and to look at houses.  We won't be buying one, but we want to see if we like the area before we flood it with resumes.  We fly out today and will be back Tuesday night.  I hope you all have a nice long weekend yourselves.

Awww you should have told me in advance! I have family there and know some dear member friends in Austin. Goodluck and hope you like it. What I know of the area and the economy bodes well for your search and trip. Be safe!

Have a safe trip, you two. We love you and pray that you will receive some Heavenly guidance in your quest.

Well we are back and must report that we loved Texas. Especially Fort Worth. It is quite green with tree's everywhere. That was a surprise. We went to Austin but everywhere we went seemed liked inner city, then the Realtor showed us some nice area's but by that time our opinion had already been tarnished. The houses we saw were anywhere from nice to Amazing. I have applied for several jobs back there and someone from Lockheed back in Fort Worth called me the other day but after the initial "hello" the call went so staticee that we couldn't hear each other and that was that. I haven't heard back from whoever it was. Pretty frustrating.
