I have moved a lot in the 39 years we have been married (Air Force and GTE) and have always looked at it as an adventure! The first thing I have done in a new city is take the phone book and look up all the fabric and craft stores, or any other particular place, map them out and go visit them. And that's the advice I gave my daughter-in-law before she married our Army son 10 years ago.
I hope you will be able to see this the same way. And be thankful he has a job, even a better one, as in this economy, that isn't always the case. We spent 4 years in TX and there are many great places there--I hope you will be happy. Good luck!!
