And we are moving to......(that was the drum roll)....Covington, Louisiana. It is basically a suburb of New Orleans in the area refereed to as the "north shore".
We are pretty happy with the decision and it was not too much of a surprise. Though we did get a phone call from Jason's boss the day before the decision was to be made and were asked to rank a position in Kuwait on our list. So we did a mad dash to research and ended up ranking it in the middle of the list but Covington won out. The job will be a project engineer working on projects on one or more offshore oil platforms in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. It seems like it will be a good challenge for Jason and we think we can find a nice house in the area. Though it will be a 2.5 hour commute for Jason on days when he get to go out the platforms.
We still haven't heard any specific details since we have to wait for HR to get us an offer letter but it take weeks for that. We think the job will start sometime in December or January. Our sea shipment has arrived in Houston and cleared customs- were hoping that would take longer but at least it is here. Dopler continues to do better. He had his first B-12 injection last week and he seems more lively but still shows a little pickiness with food in the morning. Hopefully that injections will continue to help him.
Stay tuned for more updates on our move and life in Houston. We went to the zoo last week so I will post pictures of that soon and we are going to the Texas State Fair in Dallas with Matt and Kathryn this weekend (so excited to see them!)
