I recently accepted a job offer from the Raytheon facility located in Dallas, TX. Things are happening quickly and I've been very busy coordinating our move. Fortunately, the company is helping with our move by providing a moving consultant who will help coordinate the activities. Raytheon is also covering the cost of moving through a combination of lump sum and reimbursement payments.
We have a house hunting trip scheduled for August 8 to 12. The following weekend we're flying to San Francisco for Emma's second birthday. Our actual move is planned for August 22.
It'll be sad to leave our friends that we've made in Los Angeles. However, we're excited about the opportunities that Texas has to offer in terms of raising a family. After lots of research and questioning others, we'll likely buy a home in either Allen or Plano. These neighborhoods seem to have good schools, low crime, beautiful homes and a decent amount of ethnic diversity.
