No Smoothie Today & Moving

February 16th, 2012 at 03:51 pm

I'm a bit under the weather and don't think I could tolerate a smoothie today.

We submitted our original seven locations to move to, including to stay here, but found out my husband was denied all seven options. He was given five new options that would be better for his career. We are a bit shocked, but will grieve the loss and move forwards.

The five new options must be ranked and turned back into his career manager tomorrow. Luckily, DH is arriving home tonight so we can talk a bit face to face about our decisions.

The five locations we are choosing from are:
Charleston, WV
Los Alamitos, CA
Fort Hood, TX
Milwaukee, WI
Jolon, CA

I think we are leaning towards Texas as our first choice, but we could end up living in any one of these towns. Feel free to comment about what you know of these areas. All insights are appreciated and welcome.

Now, I'm going back to bed. And hope I feel better in awhile to pick up my daughters from school.

    Stay away from Milwaukee if you can. I'm from Wisconsin, and it is not someplace I'd want to live. A lot of crime, not so good schools, etc

    Sorry you're not feeling well and I hope u get better soon. I heard Fort Hood is nice; I have a couple friends that were stationed there and they like it.

    Well, it's been a while since I've lived in the Milwaukee suburb of Brown Deer, but I have very good memories of it. I wasn't aware of any crime and had very good schooling. So don't be too freaked if that's where you go.

    Hey--I live outside Milwaukee now and we'd love to have you. But no way would I send kids to Milwaukee Public Schools. And I've sure you've heard me lament the situation the state and its political climate are in.

    Yet that said, despite my Minnesota roots, I've grown to like it here. I'm happy happy to advise on areas. We live in one of the north shore suburbs, the schools are great, and it's affordable. CB: I didn't know you lived in Brown Deer once upon a time?!

    Thanks everyone. Still very tired, but feeling better enough to make a trip to the airport.

    @MEC, I will definitely contact you, if it turns out I'm moving near you.

    I am of the theory there is always a good school nearby. It might require DH driving further. If not, I can homeschool!

    Well ... you know I'd recommend Fort Hood. Big Grin TX really is a great state if you can't stay in IA.

    Yes, it was a long time ago, when I was a kid, and only for a few years. I went back to find my old house and neighborhood several years ago and it was all gone -- the whole terrain re-developed into shopping malls. The only thing I recognized was my old school!
