Except for a short, light mist this morning, the rain has held off for about 24 hours now - a record for the week! Took the doggies for a 2-mile walk and then began the yardwork. Finished the front while it was still mostly shaded and then took a break for breakfast/lunch. I'll finish up this entry and head out to get the rest done.

For the last month, DH has been pondering retirement sometime next year. This was a surprise to me, as we haven't talked about it at all prior to this. The more he talked to people on our vacation, the more it seemed like he was decisive about it. One year! Yikes!!!

In the last day or so, he's been thinking about other aspects and now it seems he'll continue working for a few more years, taking him right up to the employment limit for the military. I'm much more in favor of that, but as the not-currently-employed-outside-the-home spouse, I feel it's not my call.

Now, that he's strongly leaning toward continuing working, I've been vocal about my support for that position, as it gives us a specific target that we should have a reasonable amount of time to finish preparing for. That was my big concern....once you retire from the military and make certain decisions, there's no going back. You don't want to be in a position 5 or 10 years from now, saying, "Gee, I really should have kept working those couple extra years..."

And, if he stays with this decision, then I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that they don't move him next summer. If they don't, there's every reason to believe they'll leave him in place for the remainder of his career. One less move would be WONDERFUL!!!

Hope you get to stay put cause I think you really like where you are.. Retiring is a big thing...even though we are semi retired..which means we have no employees or an office to drive too...we are still planning until we both turn 62...you never know what is in store for us later on in life...Have a great evening...:O)

Those are a lot of my thoughts too, Bren. To try to prepare in a year's time would add a huge amount of stress...at least to me. I mean, we haven't even decided where we want to live in retirement! Of course, most people we know feel, like you do, that we should stay right here....and we might do that....but there are other areas we'd consider too. Staying here for the rest of his career would mean we would have a maximum of 1 move left - the one to the retirement spot - as opposed to 2 moves (1 to next duty station and then the last to retirement). Enjoy your evening as well...good to hear your DH is feeling better.

Sandy - I so hope that everything does work out for you. Moving can be exciting when we are younger, but it does get old after a while. Plus it can be very upsetting to the furbabies!

Quite true about the furbabies, but then again, my Lab would be VERY happy to go someplace else with fewer thunderstorms!
