There are a few things to remember whenever moving.
Don't expect anywhere to be like your old home. We recently moved from Greene County to North Carolina. While I like many factors here mostly revolving around our children, what I found we didn't consider is how making this change would affect us as adults. It's one thing to say you are ready to make a change, it's quite another to change every aspect of the life you know.
Don't be fooled by people who will tell you to look at schools test scores to figure things out. I can tell you from experience that our children went to Durham Elementary and received as close to a private school education with out the large bill as you could get. The dedication to students in that school went way above and beyond. People here can't believe it when I tell them what our children did there.
Middle School/High School don't have the best overall test scores, however, good students who come from involved parents and are motivated will still get an excellent education. Our son is a year ahead here in math, science and language arts, thanks to the programs we had at Cairo-Durham.
Please know, though that not everyone will welcome you with open arms any more than we have been at times here in NC. It will take time for you to assimilate in the area and for them to get used to you.
What I can tell you though is that you will be able to sleep at night, you will know where your children are and you may find that a bit more simple life is good at this stage of the game for all of you.
The closest hospital for you is Columbia Memorial just over the Rip Van Winkle bridge.
I wouldn't have changed a thing.
I wish you the best of luck. If you would like more info, please feel free to dm me.
