Places We Seriously Considered Moving, As My Husband Hunted for a New Job

Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday!

As those of you who follow along know, my husband has been job hunting. For a while, but honestly most of that time not that hard...he graduated in May and before that wasn't really looking, and since then it's been so great having him around to help with the twins, and our expenses are really low (small mortgage, no car or student loans, no credit card bills), so with some economizing we can make it work on my freelance income. We actually talked quite seriously about him being a stay-at-home-dad for a while...but in the end, honestly it was the fear of how hard it would be for him to get back in the workforce. I don't mind being the sole breadwinner for a while, but I don't want that to be my role forever, you know?

My husband's situation is a little unusual in that he has a lot of work experience, but just got an engineering degree. We decided the best course of action would be for him to look nationwide, and be open to moving for the right job. I really wanted to stay in Colorado or be on the West coast, so letting fate decide was a little scary. Over the past year or so, there have been so many locations we've seriously considered. In alphabetical order:

1. Albany, NY
2. Albequerque, NM
3. Boulder, CO
4. Chester, CA
5. Costal Delaware
6. DC Area
7. Denver, CO
8. Kansas City, KS
9. Lafayette, IN
10. Minneapolis, MN
11. Ocean Springs, MS
12. Roseburg, OR
13. Salt Lake City, UT
14. Seattle, WA
15. Sheridan, AR (although the whole time we actually thought the job was in Sheridan, WY)

Whew...it's been crazy around here!

Any guesses as to where we're ending up? (And please don't say anything bad about any of these locations...I'm all about being positive about the move. As my dad says, every place has good things about it. And also, right now, especially these next few years, it's all about my family...this sounds so sacchrine, but truly, as long as we're together, I don't really care where we live.)

The big reveal tomorrow...

XO
