To move or not to move.......
Busy weekend. A friend of ours from Minnesota was in Phoenix with her husband for a Teacher's Job Conference, so we were with them for most of the weekend, showing them around the city. They are considering moving here so he can find a job as a phy. ed. teacher. He graduated from a very prestigious private college about 3 years and has only been able to find temporary work as a substitute teacher in Minneapolis. He met with several of the different school districts in the Phoenix area for impromptu interviews. The problem is although he wants to move here for work, our friend is really opposed to the idea. She is a twin and is very close to her twin sister and cant imagine moving away from her, especially since she just had her first baby. I feel bad for our friend and her husband because he really wants to teach but has been unable to find work in Minnesota, so for him to find work in the career he really wants, it would mean moving across the country, something that his wife is very opposed to. They are kind of between a rock and hard place. I am just thinkful that my wife and I see eye to eye on so many things. It makes life so much easier.

That is a tough one! My boyfriend and I came to that same problem- his job is very specialized and there are only a few companies in the US that do it. Therefore, to do what he loved, we had to move to Dallas. I can be a nurse anywhere, so I will move back down there with him when I graduate. The deal is that when we are ready to start a family, we will move home. This way he gets his dream job for awhile, but I know I get to be by my family again.
