Notice the winky-wink smiley, ladies. I was just giving you a hard time!

Trust me, I know about geographic limitations related to employment. Having a spouse's career to consider makes it all the more complicated if you want to apply for an assignment in another city/country/state. It's a non-starter in my situation, unless we have a long distance marriage for the duration of the assignment (not gonna happen---he's my best friend and love).

Congratulations!
It will be exciting to move to a new place and discover all the neat things you've been wanting to see and do. After 20 years back in MA, I have been saying that I still haven't seen and done everything I want to do here.

Congratulations Beth!
Welcome to our gorgeous Pacific NW. I hope you will love it once you get here and get settled in. Excellent timing - -best part of the year is late summer/early fall. Glad you are used to rain, however!

Congrats Beth - and welcome to the PNW!

My H is from the gulf coast (Gulfport, MS) so if you find you need commisuration about the weather or the food or anything else, let me know and you guys can feed off each other!

I'll have to make us some shrimp gumbo.

I'm a bit late to the party, but:

Congratulations!

And welcome to the Pacific Northwest!

I have the last bit of paperwork ("travel orders"), so now I can call the local Navy base travel office to arrange a date for the movers.

Dates are getting close.

I'm jealous. Knott will be down here soon, we'll be painting the bathroom (oh what fun

), talk to my realtor, see if I can sell the condo. I think I can now.

Condo?

I see my realtor on monday. I'm really hoping my house here sells quickly. The bones are good *, and the a/c system is new, but once the furniture is gone, it's going to look like it really needs a coat of paint - which I don't plan on being here to apply.

* please don't let there be termites, pretty please? Just because I didn't have deadly chemicals applied monthly or annually even.....
