Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 >>> ,>>>>>> Last I heard you were moving to Long Island. Are you really now in Florida?>>>>>> Great to have you back!Thanks, . :-) LOL -- yes, my final landing spot has been in flux now ever since we left California! It's been a while ride. First, we were in Massachusetts. The company moved us there lock, stock and barrel, sparing no expense in paying for our temporary housing while we house-hunted there and everything. Then, after we were there a couple of weeks, hubby was laid him off due to a merger that the company was going through. Because of their prior agreement to pay for everything move-related, we were able to stay there in their corporate housing while hubby launched a new job search. We came close to accepting a job in NE Connecticut -- we house-hunted there, but that area was too rural for me, and the housing was mostly very old and run down. The next option was a firm in Brooklyn, NY, which we ended up going with. God works in mysterious ways, I guess! I don't think we would ever have moved directly from CA to NY, but that's where we're going to end up. It's a great position for my husband with wonderful growth potential. We did house-hunt all over Lomg Island, but ended up deciding to build a brand-new home near White Plains, NY in Westchester county -- a little under an hour commute from his job in Brooklyn. So, while that house is being built, I am here in FL with my 4- and 5-year old daughters, spending the summer with my Mom. My husband has taken a tiny apartment in NY so we can save our pennies while the house is being built. It's a Jewish-owned firm, so hubby will get all Christian and Jewish holidays off with pay, and Fridays are always half-days. Also, during the summer, his boss takes Fridays off to visit his wife who summers in upstate NY, so my hubby gets to take them off too. Pretty cushy! LOL. It's going to work out well, since that'll allow him to fly down here often to see us. And I'll be flying there from time to time as well to check in on the construction milestones of our house. I'm here in FL until October or so, after while I'll be making the big move into the home in New York. Glad to be stable again for awhile! I still have a bunch of website work to do, it should get done by the end of the holiday weekend.
