My sister's sister-in-law is moving to Chicago. Her husband's company offered him a great promotion, and they took it. He won't be driving a Chicago Limo, but they may rent one for a night on the town so they can get to know the city. I can't imagine how hard it's going to be for them, moving to a strange city, hundreds of miles away from family. I know there are times Junior wishes we could move away. He could get a transfer to anywhere in the country.
I want to stay right where we are, though. I want the kids to stay in the same schools until they graduate. The older two are at that age where their friends are important to them, and I would hate to have to move them away. I lived in the same house from kindergarten to graduation, and I want the same for my kids.
But, if Junior were given a promotion with a good enough raise, I would probably consider moving. My only condition would be that we stay close enough that my mom could drive and visit. As much as Junior wants to distance himself from his family, I want to stay close to mine.

It's hard to pick up and move. Like you I don't really want to move. I want to stay right where I am.
We moved across country twice. I think the hardest part is getting new doctors. I hated that part. We lived north of Chicago in Vernon Hills for 6 years.
Oh! Chicago is pretty cold, huh? I hope they like it. I wouldn't mind moving. I've been here for about 14 years.
