The job hunt is in full swing now with a few applications out to various schools. Most would start next year, but it is never too early to find something. 

With a new job will probably come another move though, and we all know how traumatic that can be with kids. All of the selective lightening of the load and being whisked away from friends. 

I guess it is better to do it earlier than later though as the lifelong friendships have not been formed yet. As for me, my military brat childhood prepares me for these moves, but I would sure like for the kids to have a little more stability.
