This is something that you really truly need to consider for your family and your marriage.
I had to make this decision 6 years ago when we lived in Washington State. I loved our home, friends and my teaching job. Then my husband came to see me at work one day and told me he was offered a job out of state. I first off said " Nope, not going" we then really discussed the benefits for our family and for his career.
We decided to move and if I really hated it we could move back.
You know what?! I love it here! I have some really great girlfriends, we have some really fantastic family friends, the weather is good (less rain) my family skis 4-5 times a week in the winter, we can be just about anywhere in 4-5 hours driving time.
It has really been a blessing for my family. We do go back to Washington to visit family & friends but it is not home anymore. Home really is where your husband & children are. It is about attitude.
It has afforded us different experiences & adventures we would not have had if we had stayed put.
Good Luck, it is hard, even heartbreaking to leave friends and family but we have a lot of company with friends & family coming to visit us.
I am glad for this life experience. |
