The Hunt

We (I) began house hunting the moment we found out that we were moving.  While upside down in our home in Virginia, thankfully only one of us is on that mortgage (me).  Keeping our fingers crossed that we can earn a good wage while allowing one of us to stay home, we began the hunt.

Purely happenstance, daddy began his journey by renting a room in Northwest Austin, and immediately fell in love.  The main draw for mama is the school system available for the kids.  Daddy just likes the location (and cycling trails to nowhere).  Sadly, there is no guarantee for mama to find work due to hiring freezes for teachers everywhere.  This leaves our hopes high for a just out of reach promotion, and playing the waiting game until that time.

We have narrowed down the list to a top 11:

Each has it's own draw, and we aren't getting our hopes up on any of them yet.  Hopefully an offer will be made by this time in February.
