She's always been a Texan.... but yeah, her being in the East for the time being kinda sucks.... at least we see each other every 2-4 months usually.....not for too much longer though....  So she is still East? If I followed Rebecca here and then she went off somewhere else I'd politely ask her to go content moderated. Well not really. But it might cross my mind. I suppose if you stayed in Australia you would see each other less. If I was back in the States right now it probably wouldn't be any worse than what you have going on. Unless the boarder Nazis decided to not let her in. Kind of.... that's where she lives.... for the moment. I came here coz I got the position of TA and to do my masters and couldn't find anything out East. I took the opportunity. So she has no plan to come back to Texas? What we are doing right now sucks, but at least we get to be together. Why doesn't she come back? She'll be moving back to Texas in September and *that* will be fucking fantastic!! Finally we'll be able to move in together.... Outback Texas! 
Hopefully the changeover goes smooth. You'll think the tough part is over when you are finally together but there will always be tough parts.

How many acres? Crap I don't remember 180?
I had heard farms out west were much bigger than where I grew up because the hills don't allow for the nice continuous space. Lots of dairy cows around, and the rest is farmed more to support the cows than really get a profit out of it.
I think average farm around where I grew up is 150-200 acres.
