I'm so excited just at the possibility, that I can hardly sit still.
The regulars here know that I moved my family to New Hampshire on October 1, 2012. I've been in Texarkana by myself since then, remodeling our old house, getting it ready to sell pending a job transfer.
Things really didn't look good for a while. The economy and budget put all transfers on hold. Then the Texas house burned to the ground, while I still had no hopes of a transfer any time soon.
There are worse things than living in a nice hotel, but still...I'd rather be plodding along in the house I planned to sell. On the positive side, it looks good for a transfer on at least one of the three jobs for which I've been rated "Best Qualified".
Fast forward: my baby girl (23) plans to fly here to spend a week with her bestie, then be my road dog for the final trip home.
A very kind SDC friend has offered me passes. I will hit Paige up for the Homestay special. Baby Girl has never been to SDC, and is super excited about it. I hope for two full days at the City, plus the SOTH show.
After that, it's northeast bound and down, with our road trip playlist rockin' on the stereo for 1,400 miles!
Being able to relive my childhood with the one kid who not only appreciates the same things, but loves and embraces them: priceless!
