Nick, I talked to my wife yesterday. She said you should just move down there for a month or whatever (apartment), to see if your going to like it, that way you don't have to uproot your family if you don't like things, you can always come back.
That all depends on *if* I can find a job around here. At some point we will have to "cut loose" and start the transition (again, *if* I even get offered the job *if* it gets approved), but knowing when to give up on the Des Moines area and when to focus on moving is a fine line. For me, if I do get the job, the move won't come soon enough, but for my family any day will seem too soon.
But, we have taken Sean's thread off topic.
Imagine that!
