Just think of it as a chance to start a whole new beginning. You'll have new discoveries, new friends, a new house, your children will be in better schools, your hubby will have a good job... it really sounds like a great opportunity! And you have to think that the quality of education your children receive will influence their SAT scores, which will affect their possiblities for college and to which colleges they will be accepted, which will affect the jobs they will be able to get... For that reason alone, this move is a good idea. I am hoping to move to Charlotte in the next year or two, and my mom will hopefully join me soon after. I know I'll be devastated to leave her, but I have to think of what's best for me. (I hate my job- and the fact that there are so few jobs in the area- and am miserable here because of the cold and snow and lack of sun.) NC really isn't too far from Florida if your parents want to drive or fly. And who knows- maybe they'll want a little more moderate summer and decide to come join you! Keep us updated on your progress with the move. (And... feel free to pm me and tell me how much you LOVE the area when you get there to get my butt moving sooner!) |
