Yea I lived in Magnolia back in 96-98 and I got cousins that live there now. My wife grew up in Montgomery and one of my daughters lives there now. I'll double check with my wife on specifics about there tonight and reply then. That whole area has realy been growing in the last 10years like crazy, its one of the most desirable areas to move to lately.

OLP, I talked to the wife and the best place to live and put your kids in school would be in Montgomery Independent School District in Mongomery TX(MISD), my wife graduated from there and our to oldest kids went there. Montgomery is only about 15-20 miles or so north of Pinehurst TX. Montgomery is only about 10-15 miles from Conroe wich has plenty of shopping areas for the wife, LOL. You also mentioned you wanted to live in a rural area, trust me, north and west of Montgomery is in the woods.

I cant really say to much at this time but. I will be doing welding, fabrication, Installation, Maintenance.., as well as Concrete. I'm really kind of excited to be able to do such a variety of things, It will sure take the monotony of concrete out when I can do so much more.
The Benefits are GREAT, and the pay scale doesn't seem to bad right now. I am definitely excited to get down there.

Damn I just saw this, Have you looked a going a little south of Houston? I really like Sugarland, and that whole area down there.

When I moved here from Cali, I just went to the DMV and just traded in my Cali licenses for a Texas, I think i had to retake the Haz-Mat, but that's been almost twenty years ago.

Well the big thing is the school district as far as where I live. I want my kids to go to a smaller school. The school they go to now requires them to change schools after every grade, which in turns means they loose contact with the friends they made the previouse year. IMO its almost as bad as moving them around from town to town every year into completely different school districts.

The other thing is I have an "interview" with a company in Pinehurst Saturday morning. Really all it is is supposeddly a chance to meat face to face and tour the facilities. Plus it will give me a chance to scout the areas out for possable places for my wife to work. She isnt much on driving very far so the commute for her cant be to far.

I been checking craigslist for rental properties in houston, but i am in HOPES that being there will give me better ideas as to other places to rent. I gotta say though I am a little concerned with the cost of rent down there, Just looking on craigslist it seems as if everything will be ATLEAST 800.00 per month.

OLP, another place to look is The Green Sheet.com and the Houston Chronicall.com for houses/apt for rent. Also remember no state income tax to come out of your checks.
