we're moving to...

I can't believe today is finally here!  The day we have been looking forward to.  The day we find out where we are relocating!  I'm sure most of you are happy- happy that you don't have to read about it anymore!  Well just to let y'all know, all future posts will be about our new place!  As promised, here is a portion of our preference list that was submitted.
1. Los Angeles, CA
2. Houston, TX
3. Dallas, TX
4. San Antonio, TX
5. Phoenix, AZ

Yes, we are in love with the idea of Southern California!   Everyone has had something negative to say about LA or California in general.  We have done our research, we know which areas we could be sent to and if we can afford it or not.  Yes, the cost of living is higher but this is temporary folks!  3-5 years max!  We heavily researched Texas as well and guess what, Texas ain't that cheap either!  Property taxes are actually higher in Texas than California and the sales tax rates vary as well with some areas being higher than Southern California.  Lets not forget that Jeremy has an incredible job and it comes with an amazing support system to help us along the way.  What most people failed to remember is that it really doesn't matter if we want LA- what matters is the need of his agency for someone with his background and skills.  There were 56 offices total that we could have been sent to.  Of course our input is taken into consideration but again, the placement is what is needed for the job. With that being said we are going to...

MOBILE, ALABAMA!


Mobile was our 11th choice out of the 56 offices so we are pretty excited to have gotten an office so "high" on our list!  Yes, I was shocked and yes, I cried.  We had our hearts set on LA or somewhere out West but Mobile will be great.  Its closer to home and on the coast- the main reason we ranked it so high!  We will also still be in the heart of the SEC and close to Atlanta- hello tournaments!  So get ready to learn all about Mobile and save your pennies y'all- we'll have a guest room so come on down to visit!
