Texas Move [update]
06 Jun 2009 3 Comments
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 ??

We don’t like the idea, but we can live with it. Sometimes, you just gotta take a leap of faith. In this case, just COME HOME SOON!!

It’s probably good idea to stay. I’m a bit worried myself.
