I live in Seattle WA, I love it I was born and raised here but sadly I will be moving away, and though it will be fine, both my husband and I are sad. the job market has been so rough on both of us and it was so very important to find a way that I can stay at home with our girls as we worked EXTREMEly hard to have them.
well I did find an at home job and I love it for sure. But I am just starting in it and will not yet make enough to have us stay here permanently but soon I know that I will be able to have a good income from home to be here all the time for my kids even when they are in school and feel like i am still contributing to the finances which I am so happy about.
Anyway, we are moving to Chicago.

The move will be difficult for all of you sanell, but I am sure that you will all settle down in time. There is no doubt that you will miss your family and friends but I am sure that you will still see them. Those times that you are together will be all the more precious to all of you.
Sometimes we have to make these hard decisions in life, and as you say you do want to do the best for your girls. I am sure that you will be able to continue working from home on your own business, irrespective of where you live. Yes, every little that you earn contributes to the family finances plus you can spend more time with your girls by now having to go out of home to work.
Good luck with the move and I wish you all the very best sanell. :)

Well, good luck on your move. Remember that life is like a book. It has many chapter. Look at it like an adventure, and dwell on your blessings. Everything will work out.

So sorry to hear about this. I'm planning to move up there, soon! Later this month even, if all goes well. *keeps fingers crossed* I love it up there and just feel it's where I belong. Good luck to you and your family in Chicago!

Seattle area is beautiful, and I did visit there once. I have visited Chicago too. Being able to pay the bills is important, but perhaps you will find a way to move back. Meanwhile, you will be on a great adventure to a different culture. My daughter lived in Chicago one year as part of a program called Mission Year. So that is when I visited Chicago. Congratulations on being able to stay home with your girls.

Good luck with your move to Chicago. I hope everything turns out well for you and your husband. It is hard to move away from a place that you have been all your life. The job market is not very good in many places so sometimes we have to move. Wish you all the best in Chicago.

That's so sad you are leaving Seattle. I just visited there for the first time and I absolutely loved it. Good luck on your move.
