Count Down!

Nope, not a countdown to Christmas; it's a countdown to our moving on from Danville. 

About a month out from the end of a contract we start putting feelers out for a new assignment.  Usually it takes at least a few days - especially this time of year - before we get any feedback.  We've requested a location that would take us closer to Flagstaff, Arizona where John wants to get some CEU's come March.  He needs them to renew his Registry next year.

By the end of the day, we were notified of a possible opportunity and to expect a phone interview some time in the next few days.  John may interview for three or four locations before he decides which one he wants to accept.  We've asked for at least a few days to touch base in Texas, but if it conflicts with the facilities timeframe we can just go straight to the new gig from here.

I'll start cooking meals based on what's in the freezer and buying minimum quantities of things, especially refrigerated foods.  It's amazing how long two people can eat off of a freezer full of food.  The pantry leftovers and staples (flour, sugar, cornmeal, etc.) will pack up into totes easily.  Clothes into suitcases, bathroom essentials into a tote, electronics into a tote and we are good to go!

We will have been here five months.  We've seen a ton of things - including groundhogs, deer, and a BEAR!  Hopefully we'll see a beautiful snowfall before we leave. It usually snows a time or two in Texas each winter, but last year we were in Hawaii, so it' been awhile since we've seen it.

Snow or no, we'll be moving on.  Hope you don't mind if I take you with us!
