Work Promotion? (Dallas: low crime, transfer, property tax)

[Rmoov2tx]

Good evening to all of you, Dh and I are still waiting to hear if his company is offering him a promotion to stay in Texas. They called today and he returned the call but, hasn`t heard back from them yet. The current DM out there informed him they were in meetings all day and that they would be talking to him this weekend. The operations manager called him the other day and asked if he wanted to stay and if I had been out to visit. He told them that I was there however, he worked all weekend and we didn`t have time to look around They asked if he wanted to stay another 30 days He told them that if he would be doing what he is currently doing, he wouldn`t stay.


Hope to hear something soon. Even if they make him an offer I don`t know how we will be able to decide. We haven`t had much experience in Texas to know if it is a place we could live. I do have a question if you all don`t mind.If you were to pick an area of Texas would it be north or south of Dallas? And what cities ? I can give this much information to help perhaps...House budget not to exceed 290k, Property tax around 3500, low crime rate.........ha now thats not asking for too much yeah right .

Again thank you all that post pictures and helpful information. Terri

Terri - I know exactly what you are going through. My dh and I were going through something similar. We don't have to move due to his promotion, but it certainly would help him be central as he will be traveling all over the country and out of one coast or another, it is really hard.

We had to go through the weekends not knowing what was going to happen. It really is tough and nerveracking to sit and wait and sit and wait, put your life on hold, etc.

I hope that this goes by quickly and you get the decision you want.

Good luck!

Guingirl- Thank you for the insight. Dh and I hope to know something today. It will either be that he gets a promotion or he will be returning to Florida on Nov 8th. Either will suit me just fine. I was visiting out there last weekend. I didn`t get a chance to see much as I`m sure you have read on my posts. Since moving to Florida our lives have been on hold. My dh transfered from Pa with the same company and, like now everything was put on hold. We thought it was just a florida thing. LOL Now we are not sure. Thanks look forward to reading more posts. Guingirl, do you live in Tx?

We are in California at the moment. While we were waiting to hear on my dh's promotion, I found this site. We spent some time in DFW area in August checking things out. We just found that everyone was so nice, it really made things so much easier to make the decision to move.

Good evening to all of you, Just an update on the relocation and job promotion. Well nothing was put on the table ( offer that is). So I quess Dh will be returning to Florida I quess this means that both of us aren`t moving to Texas. I think the company would like him to stay and help out but, there isn`t anything or reason for him to remain in Texas. I would like to Thank all of you for the advise and information. I really enjoyed the pictures. I will check back just to see how all of you are doing and to say Hello.



Take Care, Terri
