DH received "the list" today. The list of open positions and their locations. We get to choose our top seven and the Army goes from there. It's a bit overwhelming. Oh, any we only have until February 7th to complete our list.
The nice news is that he will be choosing from positions for Majors, rather than Captains. This is good because when he does get promoted, it won't require an immediate move. I think he only has another year before he is eligible to be promoted.
In financial news, I received $3 for a pinecone survey. That goes to the Christmas Fund!
Yesterday, I spent $50 at the eye doctor, for a quick exam/check for myself and my daughter. I was able to send my daughter old (but identical) frames in to get new lenses for only $16.50 at JCPenney. This was because she had a prescription change in less than 6 months. I ended up needing just one new contact lens, which I ordered online for about $45. I put all the charges on the CitiDividend card and now I'm just $45 short of the $500 minimum to redeem my rewards.
That's the news!! What's up with you?

FL (Orlando), WI (Fort McCoy), TX (Dallas or Ft Hood), IA, CA (Dublin or Los Alamita), WA (Marysville), HI, and even PR. We currently live in Iowa, but the Army is not likely to leave us here in the same state, but we'll see.

Marysville, WA is appealing just because it is such a change from our current location or experience. It looks like a nice size, too. And good schools are always a draw too.
We also found out there is 1 position here where currently live that we are putting first on our list. With a daughter in high school...she would be thrilled to stay!
