This just in!

Mike got the job!!! As of Oct. 15th he'll be working for the Office of the Inspector General! Right down the street from the Pentagon and a hop, skip, and a jump away from the US Capitol! How exciting is that?! I'm really really nervous about relocating. I've lived here in Texas for most of my life. I'm not at all worried about myself...I can adapt well pretty much anywhere. I am however worried about the kids. Cassie is unbelievably emotional and I'm not too sure how she's gonna take it. She's at a friend's house right now so I've not had a chance to tell her yet. I know she's too young to really care but if she only knew about the opportunities she'll have up there. I'm so excited that I'll be able to take them places and show them things that most kids only read about in history books. It looks like Mike and I will be making another flight up to D.C. in the next few weeks to find a place to live. We've not narrowed it down yet but I'm sure we'll either live in Maryland or Virginia. I'm hoping for Virginia but it's so expensive. It doesn't matter where we live really, Mike's still gonna have a bit of a commute. Another great thing is that my grandmother and a lot of my aunts and uncles live in West Virginia. I've never gotten to spend much time with them and am really looking forward to being able to do so :). That brings me to the next great thing......I'm not sure but I *think* my parents are going to moving to West Virginia close to his family! Which means they'd only be a couple of hours from me instead of 22! Keeping my fingers crossed that they don't change their mind :).
