Well so far I have been at a crossroads with whether or not we should move to the Kansas side of the metro. I have on the pro-side of moving the fact that we would not be on a lake so that we don't have to worry about the kids being that close to the water. Also, the fact that we both work in Kansas and live in Missouri so we wouldn't have to pay double taxes anymore. Then there's the fact that we could find a newer, bigger house that could possibly need less work and might actually have a yard we can be outside and play in, which is always nice. However, on the con-side of moving there is the fact that 2 of the 3 school districts we are looking at moving to don't measure up to where we currently live. Then the big kicker is we would be closer to my husbands family and some of his friends that I'm not exactly thrilled about. Also, the hassle of selling our house, packing everything up, finding a place to live with 3 adults, a baby and 3 dogs in between houses and the stress of buying a new home.
I am leaning toward not moving on the basis that I think moving closer to my husband's family and some of his friends would end up causing marital problems for us plus at best we would be moving to an eqivalent school district. Although a new house would be nice and it's always fun to shop, I just don't think the "juice" in this case would be worth the squeeze.
