Alright... alright... Here is what we found out this last week.
Tyler's first rotation (Feb-April) is in Horsham, and he found a bus route so we wouldn't have to get another car... yet. That's about 30 minutes from where we live.
His second rotation (May-July) is in Trooper, which is... 45 minutes away? not sure on drive time for that one yet. But it's PAID (not very much, but still!) and he won a lottery (the other students that applied with Ty for that one had to basically draw straws) for that one :) which is crazy because our luck and life here has not worked out at all the way we thought, so it's good at least something is pulling through for us for rotations.
His third rotation (Aug-Nov) is at The Eye Institute, which is about 15 minutes from where we live.
His fourth rotation (Dec-Feb) is in West Virginia with FREE HOUSING! Yay, such good news! We didn't think there was any chance that he'd get any with free housing, haha, those are all that we applied for.
His last rotation (Feb-May) is in Montana also with FREE HOUSING, and meals I think! Yay, more good news!
But NOW I feel like I'm almost back to square one with deciding where me and the girls are going to live. We were planning on taking care of Ty's parents house while they were on a mission, but they might not be gone the whole time we live there, which is hard because we're at the point where we NEED our own space and routine. I thought there was no way we'd get free housing rotations and any in the area. But now that he'd be living somewhere else for free, I feel like we can make it here (barely, like we've been doing). Then I wouldn't have to uproot my kids for 9 months and then do it again when he's done. And now it's 6 months without him here versus 9 months without him there. It'd be about the same amount of support either way, our ward = awesome, but a lot of people I count on now will have moved by next fall, but more people will have moved in... Ahh.. decisions, decisions, decisions...
Anyway, just to let the world know, we know our rotation schedule and places :)
