So, I moved to Florida last July with plans to move back to Texas one year later.  That year is fast approaching and I have an update.  I moved here to get healthy with the help of my family here.  I have changed my eating habits and my movement habits and while I have been here I have lost 115 lbs so far with hopes to lose at least another 35 before I leave and then continue back in Texas.

Well, those plans may be altered slightly.  I am coming back to Texas, no doubt.   However, at this time, I am looking to move the date forward a little to September.  Earlier this year the company I work for laid off a group of employees due to economic times and the credit card industry struggles.  And, a couple of weeks ago they laid off another batch.  I am overjoyed to have not been in either batch but it does make me a little wary.

On the one hand, I don’t want to go back and get an apartment and a nice little collection of monthly bills only to lose my job.  On the other hand, I don’t want to stay here, although it would be financially better if I get laid off, because then if I get laid off and need to look for a job I’ll be here, which isn’t where I would want to look for a job. 

So, I do think moving back to Texas is the right thing to do, I just want to give myself a little extra time to save a little money [yes, dad, I said save] and at least get more prepared.

What do you think ??
