She would be full time, but I'll be up there ever few weeks to steal her for weekends

She has a cousin who'll probably be heading up too. Might see what school they choose for him. Either way they'll have each other close.

SIL has family up there too. & her cousin is up there from here often. I should have plenty of people to check up on her if needed.

It'll be a culture shock for her, but I really do think it'd be good for her attitude etc. Though she might think I hate her even more when shes the only one out of home!

I'm going to put her on the waiting list. I really am thinking its a good idea. I'm not too far away...
