Option number 3: if you have not read the previous post read it first!

OK with a long weekend Ben and I had allot of time to sit and talk (AGAIN) about our future. If you were in our last small group in Wichita FAlls, you know how Ben and I love to sceam and manipulate situations for our future. So anyway we came up with a 3rd option and I have to say this is the first time we have felt a peace about the situation and are actually more excited then scared. So in option 3 we get out of the Air Force all togeather. Ben will have his MBA or be very near completeion. In the Air Force he is an electrition and has been doing that for ten years. It was never something he wanted to do forever but he does enjoy figuring stuff out and he is very good at it. Ben is always the guy people go to when they cannot figure something out. SO we would get out of the Airforce and it would put him at a Journeymans level in civillian life. After two years he could get his contracting license and start his own company or buy into one that is already started. By doing this he will be usuing his MBA but also have his ten years of experience to back it up. Now we can do this anywhere however I think we have chosen Austin Texas. It is a great city and I have always said if I ever lived in Texas again it would be Austin. It is close enough to family (4hours) yet far enough away that they cannot just show up on your door step. However the kids can go there for a week at a time on holidays or in the summer, (YEAH ME!) Also checking out the real estate it is amazing what kind of house you can get for your money in Austin or surrounding areas. For example for $220 000 you can get a 5000sqft house with 5 bedroom,a library, a game room, two living rooms, and 2 dining rooms! Not that we need a house quite that big but that is over $100 000 less then we payed here for 1200sqft. HOLY COW!!! So anyway We could definitly get our dream home in Austin. Ben would be doing something he enjoys and then using his MBA to take it even further, the kids would be close to family (but not too close), it is close to one of the biggest and my favorite outlet mall!!!!!, and the pros just keep coming! I really cannot think of any cons other then the fear of getting out of the Air Force just because this is what we have done our whole married lives. We have never enjoyed Air Force life however, and have always saidw we were just not militery people. SO it is an excited scared. So what do you think of option three?
