My husband and I left our grown children and extended family in Washington state to live in Minnesota so I can go to school. I'm almost finished with the third of four years. Has it been good? Yes! Has it been lonely? Yes, especially at the first, but now I can see it would be easy to live the rest of our lives here if we didn't have such strong commitments to draw us back home. We've made friends through school, my husband's work, church, and neighbors.
About failure, you won't know if you don't try.
Financially, I think we may end up in better shape because selling our house allowed us to invest in property we can subdivide and sell when we return. Plus we have a house here we'll sell.
This has been an adventure for us, and it will still be one when we get back home, I will be trying to start a business as a painter and my husband will be working on his second career - he's still contemplating what he'll do. One drawback is that we'll be in a rural area but I'm not too worried about it because of the internet. That's it up to this point, you'll have to wait with me for "the rest of the story."
