Sad to say, your husband's company sounds like the type of employer that chews through employee's marriages... I could be wrong, but some companies have a culture that values home and family, and others don't. Do you know how/where you husband's company is on this scale? Because it will have a big, big impact on your life. Sorry, but I have to agree with Fairegold and Sue about "tagging along" on this trip if it violates the rules (written or unwritten) of the company culture.

We used to have assignments [at Karen's time] starting with some letter in the alphabet...all I remember the last letter was C, when I posted Cattles. Anybody likes to carry on? Konrad

bumping this off the top.

I'm so glad you posted photos. You home is beautiful, may you have many, many years of happiness there. ....and on a practical note..may your Houston home sell quickly, and your settlement be a breeze. The snow in the photos surprised me since I didn't realize it snowed in SC, but then I looked again and noticed that it looks like a wet snow, the kind that doesn't last long. But how nice to have snow on Christmas. Even here in the colder clime of the north (Philadelphia area) we don't have snow on Christmas all that often.
