In November Dave was offered a position at a new company (an offshoot of Transocean) in Dubai. We accepted the position and began making preparations once again to move -- this time only being out of the box for 5 months. A couple weeks later, Dave rescinded his acceptance and we decided to stay in Houston. No concrete reason -- just one of those it doesn't feel right at this time.
We changed our minds a thousand times and weighed all the options. Both were good. Both were doable. But alas, we decided to stay in Houston. A huge weight was lifted and I was able to enjoy the holidays without an imminent move thereafter.
I've been feeling fine about our decision, and then a friend sent me this ... wowza. Maybe I'll change my mind again...this looks incredible.
