Maybe bring your resume and swing by UGR and see if they're hiring :)

Find me some Goose Island Burbon Country Bottles, there is a ton down there and I need me more. Will pay to have it shipped up! lol

Oh man I love that stuff. I'll look haha.

Wow totally forgot about that. Not a bad plan ;)

Make the move or you will regret it!

Wish I would have moved south before I started a family. Would be much much tougher now.

Well so I have my dog who's happy to be with me wherever, but the lady and I have our core family up here. That said, no kids, and probably won't be for a long time, and by then I think at least my side, would be relocating within a state away anyhow. So in reality you are all right, in that the clock is ticking for sure. I'll see how far I can make it, and how the road trip through the mountains to Myrtle Beach, changes some minds. Maybe this upcoming summer for sure. This last bitter week had me real irritated about my zip code haha.

I agree moving while you can. But on that same note, if you plan to have kids and you are planning on moving away from your family/parents, keep in mind that having them around with kids can be a total life saver sometimes. Have a couple kids and want to go have an evening with just you and the lady, having parents around that can watch them is priceless.

Moving away from family just makes visits with them that much more special and meaningful. I've gotten much closer to my family with us all being spread out across the country vs. living all nearby.

Even with kids I'd take more overall happiness vs. occasional.
Once your parents get real old they can watch the kids on long visits and will want to.

:/ They already do this for my pup once and a while and love him, and yea that was my main worry. So if they weren't far away, where they could come stay for a while (they are near retirement/moving side business down to St Petersburg) it might not be as bad, but a night out is a night out, and things happen. Emergencies aren't planned.

I've found this with my brother. We shared a damn room growing up until he moved out, then moved straight to Tampa. I see him twice a year and we're closer than ever because we can enjoy everything about each other's lives without interfering or overstaying welcomes. I think this would be a blessing really.

I read this two ways haha but I can tell what you meant I think. Hell they'll be 45min away from my brother in Tampa, and as much as he denies it, he'll have a family like me even sooner, and before me, or my parents move. Might be a good prompt for my folks to head down. Literally only a few people here in MN on my side aren't already planning a move to the region, but local, and regional are different. Driving to Chi town to take care of family is doable, but not ideal. Her side is another story, it's messy, complicated, and honestly/fondly, they won't mind since they are all over the midwest/grainbelt as it is with infrequent visits. She's fine with the idea thankfully.

This x10 if kids are in the plan.

If not, or if things change, enjoy it while you can, you can always move back if you miss it!
