Another move on the horizon?

We've been living in Michigan for 5 years now. 5 long, miserable years. I'm so done with Michigan. Husband loves it here- he loves the nature, he loves being far from a city. Me, not so much. I miss civilization!

Since husband has been looking for a job, he's applied for jobs in many different states, and even for a position in Canada. So far, there haven't really been any bites. That is, until about a week ago. One of his college professors recommended him to a friend who is in charge of hiring for an agency in Chicago. It sounds pretty promising- it would be contract to hire, which would work out well, especially if he could telecommute a few days a week while contracting. I'm excited about the possibility. He, however, is not thrilled with the idea of moving back to the Chicago area.

I still hope he can find a job in Colorado. That would be the most ideal situation- It's my favorite place in the world, and he loves it there, too. Some of my really close friends are there, and it's not so far from our very best friends, who are in Portland, OR- they visit Colorado several times a year, so we could actually SEE them. I think Daughter and Son would be happy there, and there are great schools out there in areas we could actually AFFORD.

However if that doesn't work out so well, I could totally move back to the Chicago area. We have lots of friends there- we lived there for 8 years, after all. Even Son has friends there- Husband's cousin has a son the same age as Son and they play very well together and would be great friends. We'll have to see what develops. I'm excited for the possibilities of moving in the spring. I'd like to stay put till June when I graduate college and get Son through first grade, but after that I'd love to get out of here.

We'll see!
