Since I have tons of "free time", I thought I would use it wisely & play catch up. I am sure many of you are wondering why we are moving when we just bought a house in February.
We decided last summer to separate from the AF. It was a tough decision but one we were excited about. We knew that we wanted to move back to Texas then but not really sure what kind of job we were looking for or where exactly we wanted to live. During the spring, we looked at many options in both San Antonio & Albuquerque.
In May, we decided to take the civilian position at the Safety Center where Billy was working while active duty. The active duty position was being dissolved & they wanted to bring him back on as a civilian with the same job description.
The week Billy started as a civilian, a boss of Billy's decided it was time to leave & was offered a job as a Vice President with Raytheon. Some of you know that we have alot of disappointments with the AF. Many times, we were led to believe or promised one thing, then after Billy delivered, the story changed. That was the main reason for us separating from the AF.
In July, we got a phone call from Billy's old boss (the one who went to Raytheon) asking Billy if he was interested in coming to work with Raytheon. He had worked with Billy for the past 3 years & knew what Billy was able to accomplish. After a few weeks of talking, we were offered a job we could not turn down.
Billy's dad had a stroke almost 2 years ago. His mom has had a few health issues as well & along with Cancer hitting my family last year. We decided that the first chance we got, we would get back to Texas to be with our family. That chance came in August.
Billy started working in September & we are officially moved. the kids started school in November & are loving it. I am working diligently to get the house up a running along with my business. I am hoping to have a great kick-off Christmas Open House on December 8th.
