Yeeha, Texas here we come! (Shouldn't someone call and warn them?)

I have been dropping hints here and there and for many of you this is no surprise.
Yes, the saga continues and we are moving on to the next State having already seen 20 in 3 years. It seems that there is a certain Energy company (largest UK company!) that believes I am exactly what they need in order to make a profound difference in their IT procurement department.
I am starting to get very excited and can only hope that I live up to their ideals. Actually, I am looking forward to the next part of my career and thankfully have a family that accede to my schedule and share my sense of adventure. Goodbye Seattle. We'll miss you so very much and all the wonderful friends we've made, but now at least our new friends stuck behind in indeed the gloomiest and rainiest city in the world!!, will have another warm weather destination for cheap vacations!!
We are, of course, a little worried about how we are all going to fit in down there, but then again, with 5 million people, someone somewhere should be like us, right? My only fervent hope and desire is that this time, we manage to stay put for awhile. 4 moves in 4 years across half the world, well, even I am ready for a few years off.
We will be traveling to Houston, our new home, in June via California, Las Vegas, New Mexico and Texas. We will meet new family, see old friends and finally go to Legoland (at Angus's bequest!). We will have a house with a pool, I will be working long hours and traveling often. The boys will NOT develop an accent, and we will retain our liberal socio-economic beliefs. For the rest, the ball is in the air and we're open to anything.
Smile for us and remember the Alamo!
