Today was a good day....
 
I moved out to California 3 years ago for work. As I work for the government, I haven't had my choice of where to be for the last 3 years. I've still managed to keep my home in Indianapolis (just was there last week for my annual party), but the last few months have really made me consider selling the place and just coming to terms with the fact of being stuck in California.

(I know that sounds weird...but I've lived all over. The weather and terrain are lovely here...but it just doesn't offer what I'm looking for, for my future)

Anyway, HR called me up today...my transfer request to Indianapolis has been approved. There is a caveat, though...which I'm totally fine with. I need to stay here another 24 months. My release date will be in 2016.

Light at the end of the tunnel. I've been stuck in limbo for the last couple of years. Not wanting to develop roots in California, stuck with maintaining friendships back home. Unsure if or when I'd get back home. Well, at least I KNOW I'm going home....

It has been a great day!

Oh yes...I will miss being able to drive cool cars year 'round. That kinda sucks.

Cool Mike! Congrats on "eventually" getting out of calif. Left there @ 5 yrs ago (Kansas City is now home) and no way I'm going back to live there. It'll be over in a flash. Regards...

Probably a lot fewer vegans in IN. Congrats!

I'll hold down the fort here in the meantime.

Congrats. Perhaps I should stop by one Tuesday while driving back from lovely Bakersfield.

We might come out for a week over the summer. I'll give you the heads up if that's the case. You can come hang in Laguna with us. ;).

Congratulations Mike, I know what you mean about going home. To live where you know and feel you belong is a powerful draw. I still have to get there myself.
