The Wandering Whos Are Finally Settling Down In. . .

Beautiful San Marcos, TX! It's about 25 miles south of Austin and is really a lovely town. We were moving to Austin proper because DaddyWho was taking a job he really didn't want, but was the best deal going at the time. Suddenly, great job offers poured in before he was slated to start to undesirable job. He's going to be working for a company that sells commercial and military diving and tactical equipment. He's used all the gear before and he knows all the people in his territory, so this is a good fit for him.

There were a few foreign possibilities, but those didn't pan out. The Army wanted him back to do his old job, but in Germany, but Army medical would have none of it. He was recruited for a job in Brisbane, Australia, but he would have had to spend considerable amounts of time in, uh, less desirable locations where people would be shooting at him. I'll just let your imaginations run wild on what that job was - it can't be far from the truth. He also turned down a job in Canada.

 We're excited about finally settling down somewhere of our choosing. We could have chosen anywhere in Texas, and we have often talked about how we would love to live in San Marcos. It's a neat college town, and the San Marcos River, a spring-fed, rock bottom river, starts in town and runs through the campus. People tube, float, and kayak between classes. Quite a bit of wetlands reclamation and conservation work is done there as well because of the springs and the Edwards Aquifer.

My husband's parents live there as well. That's a positive thing, most days.

 Now that we know where we are moving and when, I must really start packing. If you don't hear from me for several days, assume I've fallen headfirst into a wardrobe box and am in unrgent need of rescue. Or I might be paddling down the river, beer in hand.
