Ugh!  I'm in Illinois too. Our kids each live in a different state and they keep sending me memes to tempt us to move. We'd love to get out of here. 

I just put on this desperate tone and say "STAY WHERE YOU ARE, CHILDREN. SAVE YOURSELVES!!"

Probably not, but if my husband wants to continue advancing in his company we don't have too much of a choice.

Good luck to you! I hope for great things and new adventures. Didn't mean to be a Debby Downer.

Just to add to the Illinois pile-on, as a university student in Kentucky, I noticed that there were tons of kids who go to the public universities here who are from Illinois. Turns out that it's cheaper to go to school in Kentucky and pay out of state tuition than it is to pay in state tuition at a university in Illinois.

... some say, in life you gonna get what you give

But some things, only God can forgive.

I hope you're somewhere praying, praying.

I hope your soul is changing, changing.

I hope you find your peace

Falling on your knees, praying.
