Thanks for those questions, Nae. There is so much to think about and take into consideration for me. It's not just a matter of up and going to me. TO him it's differnt because he has nothing keeping him here except us. My whole family is here and I've lived in the area my whole life, so it will be difficult for me. My step ad is really sick and mum would have a heart attack if we moved away now. I couldn't do that to her. She has my brothers who live close so she wouldn't be alone but she seems to lean on me alot more than them. I haven't mentioned any thing to her because she's having enough anxiety dealing with my step dad's situation.
The position won't necessarily put him in a higher place/position, but it's different experience for him. There are other incentives too, like being able to choose any area to live in after the 3yrs. We would love to live by the beach sometime inour lives and this could be a way to do it! That's if we don't absolutely love the country and decide to stay, LOL!
Finacially it will be a good step for us. And I can be a full time SAHM again. Another big incentive for me. We would also be living in a house (currently in a 2br, 3rd floor unit).
I don't know how long it would be from submission to actually moving. It has been such a spur on the momnet thing! So unlike me!! I really like the idea of moving, and I have a good feeling about it, but this is just too soon for me! I need to think about it and mentally prepare, LOL! DH said that these positions do come up fairly regularly, but it depends on where the place is, it could be a one street town next time, KWIM?? I don't want somewhere so small, I want to be able to make friends and stuff, so I think I would need the opportunity to go to playgroups and swimming lessons and stuff like that with the kids.
Ugh, sooo much to think about! But I think for this time, it will be a no. There is plenty of time to do it and there is no pressure anyway.....
