Why would I?

It's been asked several times....why would we want to move away from here if we don't have to?  Why would anyone leave the place they have lived for 30 out of 32 years?  (I spent a year in Rochester, NY, and almost a year in Central PA.)

Why do we need to stay?  Must what always has been, always be?  Of course we love our family and friends, and we will miss a lot of things we enjoy by living so close to those we love.  I don't think that means we shouldn't go.

We live in a big, magnificent country and I have never been farther west than Corinth, Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee.  I want to see new things, meet new people, and do new things.

I want my husband to have better weather for his bones, because NY winter is really hard on him, though this year we had the most mild winter I can remember in my lifetime.

Trucking jobs are everywhere.  Accounting jobs are everywhere.  My husband could transfer within his same company and drive out of Bedford, Indiana.  Indiana happens to have fantastic homeschool law, which is a definite plus.

I don't know where we'll land, but I know that we're both itching to go and have been for years.  I want to take a risk.  I want to *live*.  I want my kids to know there is more to this world than upstate NY.  It will be hard to leave, I know.  But it will be good.

What's the worst thing that could happen?  We hate it and move back this way?
