Glad to hear that your move is going well. Yes, there are advantages to living in Indiana.

If your salary is comfortable and allows you some "breathing room" after your basics are paid for, well -- that alone can really add to your feeling of freedom and quality-of-life.

You're within a few hours of some great weekend getaways. Chicago, Columbus, Indianapolis, Bloomington, University of Michigan- Ann Arbor area, the west coast beaches of Michigan, and other natural areas. If I was raising kids in Indiana, I would want them to enjoy life where they are... but also get them into the bigger cities and places of culture for visits, weekend trips, vacations, events, programs... anything that could benefit them and expand their perspective.

As far as schools, I've found that in Indiana, in general, citizenship and democracy are really emphasized in the curriculum of the middle and high school social studies programs. Much more so than in the high school I attended in a different state, for instance. That can only benefit kids if they take it to heart.

Good luck and hope you enjoy Indiana.
