tired, yet wired

Contemplating so many things. Should we move to Minnesota? I really don't have enough info to answer that questions yet. It has been 25 years since I visited and Lance has never been there. The better quality of life is really tempting. I love Walla Walla, but it is ridiculously expensive. The wine industry has been both a blessing and a curse. Unemployment has not been as bad as other areas of WA, but cost for housing are not par with in median income. I don't really want to pay 300+ k for a crappy house on 2 acres. I can get a fantastic house on at least 5 acres with a lake and a barn in MN.
We are planning a trip the first week of April to just check things out and see if there are possibilities there. My favorite aunt lives there, and she is excited about the prospect of having family live closer to her I think. We are just going to go and check it out. While it would be good to see MN in winter, early spring will likely be really different than in WW, so it will still be a good indication of the climate adjustment we would have to make. Of course, their winter has been unusually harsh this year, and we have had more snow and cold than usual as well.
Why move when we both have good jobs, a comfortable home, friends, and family? Well, we would like a small (less than 10 acres or so) farm. Our oldest is approaching school age, so if we did make a change in location, we want it to be before he is too far into school. It could be partly related to me being closer to 40 than 30, and maybe I have a little bit of wanderlust. I don't want to feel like we have not explored possibilities out of complacency. Who knows what will happen, I am confident that we will do what is best for our family in the end; whether that be being patient for the right place here, or moving somewhere else.
