Possible PCS

Mario came home yesterday and said he is on the list to PCS in the spring. We thought we had 2 more years here. Mario has asked his colonel about transferring down to Sierra Vista and then commuting the 120 miles (roundtrip) each day so the kids could stay in the same school district for 6 years. Both Mario and I are ready for a change and a move but we feel bad for the kids. So our first priority is to stay and commute. But if that doesn't work out, looks like I may finally get out of the desert. Does it make me a bad mom to hope it doesn't work out? At first the kids were opposed to the move, but we told them Scott AFB may be an option again. We were there from 2005 until 2007. We showed them houses in the area and the beautiful green lawns. Eric and Erin put in a request for woods behind our house and both agreed to move...not that they have a choice in the matter. Mario is waiting for a list of options to come available and then he'll start working the system. I hope for Scott or somewhere that is close to the ocean. Alaska is NOT on my list and nor is North or South Dakota.

I love the excitement of moving. I love the guessing game of where we will go. I love it even better when we know and can start our research on homes and schools.
