We are celebrating a rather large milestone at our house. I have accepted a job in the DC area. We have been talking about leaving for a number of years. Honestly, we have always talked about it. I started to think that it would never happen. I did not think we would ever leave Little Rock. However, my work situation, and Mr. T.'s work situation was deteriating. Both of us were ready to look for something new, and then, this really cool job came up.... and I qualified for it... and they wanted me!
It has been difficult getting everything in line. The major thing we are worried about now is selling our house. We got the house ready except for one window, which did not come in. Then, our airconditioner broke. It was hot, and we were hoping that no one wanted to see it. Then, we got bed bugs. That is right, we got bed bugs. We are pretty sure we know how they came in, but we also know that we were not doing everything we needed to do assure it did not happen. We were lucky in that they were confined to one room, our room. And with lots of cleaning and self medicating, we were able to get through it. But honestly, after living through that, I don't know that I am ready to be stressed our again anytime soon. A lot of things are in the air for us right now, but to me, I am all "hey, at least we don't have bed bugs!"
So, we are celebrating. We are looking forward to our new -bug free- adventure.
