They gave me certain parameters within which to work, and they obviously had the final say over where we moved. But they did end up househunting in several of the towns I'd ranked at the top. I also learned a valuable lesson that just because something appears good on paper doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be a good "fit". My family ended up hating the area to which we moved and when my dad's new job didn't work out as he'd initially hoped, we moved back. .-= Crimson Wife´s last blog ..<a href="http://bendingthetwigs.blogspot.com/2010/03/required-reading-for-toyota-owners.html" rel="nofollow">Required Reading for Toyota Owners!</a> =-.

One of the ways we are incorporating our homeschoolong into family decisions is to have the kids, when theyreach a certain level in math, plan a family trip with a budget we give them. If they can make the entire trip come in under budget, then we will take the trip. ( : I have an Evan-Moor book called 'Math on a Trip' to help guide them in knowwhat all of the expenses of a trip would be. It will be fun to see what they come up with! Love it Dana!
