Hoping someone can give me some practical and emotional advice on this one!
We are a family of 4, 2 DC (5 & 2). DH has just been invited to the second part of the interview process with a sister organisation in Michigan (Ann Arbour). We currently live in the SE of England. With this, it has suddenly become very real that this could happen. Has anyone just 'done it'?. Suddenly the practical side of renting out our UK house, finding somewhere in the US, schools, moving, saying goodbye and handing in my notice seems incredibly scary and makes me well up.
My more daring and positive side is thinking that as a family we are reasonably self-sufficient and don't rely or have family members around (closest is 2 hours away). And then what a wonderful opportunity for our kids to live in another country and it could just be the best thing but until we try we don't know!?
Im also not sure what my position would be from a work perspective? Would I be able to?
Is renting a good option in that part of the states?
How would our standard of living differ? (We enjoy a comfortable life at the moment with no big financial worries).
Anyone with any thoughts?
TIA
