Monday morning is the first day, I'll be on the road this weekend.

Admittedly, the CO job is just to get me down there. The Dallas/Ft. Worth area has stacks of IT jobs listed, a few conversations with some agencies indicate I've got a pretty good shot at getting one of them once I have a TX address. The wife and kids are are going to finish out the school year here in AZ, by which time I should have one of those better paying, more intellectually stimulating jobs. Taking a pay cut for the move, which is really going to suck, but the long term benefits should be well worth it.

Just stay out of south/sotheast Dallas and you'll do fine.:smile-new:

Welcome!!!

Good Luck! I liked the Dallas area a lot when I visited years ago. Nicer people and the most courteous drivers I've ever experienced. The homes are nice too and super inexpensive, so you get a lot for your money. I came close to buying an investment home in Preston Hollow, in North Dallas (where GWB now lives), but after I visited North Georgia, I decided to buy there instead.

Very nice! Best of luck on the move and hope it all goes smooth! :thumbsup:
