Am I crazy for wanting to move to

The heat in Georgia would probably kill me, but Wisconsin winters would be cold! If you like an adventure, go for it.

Middle of Wisconsin not so bad. I have a daughter up in the Northwest. It’s still pretty cold ther. It’s beautiful all year round. If I didn’t love my hot days so much in the south, I would really entertain the idea. Plus being from Louisiana, and loving seafood so much , I would probably miss it too much. However I could probably get used to freshwater fish all the time. From the way she and her family goes about life, you just bundle up and warm up by the fire and some sort of heating system in place. She actually has central heat and air. Roads are well kept plowed and she has a guy she pays to plow her driveway. Nothing much keeps her from living life just because it get below zero some days! I have visits on some on those crazy cold days and lived to tell about so if the hot weather southern gal who temps over a hundred degrees 3/4 of the can handle it, so can you! When I visit I stand at the window for hours looking at that beautiful snow and spend a bit of the time hiking around her propert and nearby trails. Then I forget and just love being there. I don’t mind the huge selection of cheese and small cheese factories everywhere, but I can’t do cheese curds—just nope! But my sons can pack them in. And the football is good. And you are close to Duluth/superior and Minneapolis and Mall of America’s for shopping and of course Maddison, the capitol and other larger cities. It’s a fun state. I visit 3 or times a year!

Your desire for an old farmhouse on an acreage with a spring house and a horse pasture sounds perfectly lovely to me!💕

Please do this. You really want to, and you deserve to drink beer and eat cheese curds on the porch of your charming farm house. Success will follow you wherever you choose to go. Sounds like Wisconsin is the answer.

I would not. But that’s me. I’m not big on change or moving. I hate redoing my resume, and I suck at interviews. I don’t like snow or shoveling it. But I’d never do the Ga heat either. To me it does sound like an anxiety ridden & stress inducing option. But that’s all me and my fears & preferences.

It sounds like you actually want all the things that make me cringe. Explore open mindedly what the headhunter has to offer & see where it goes. Best of luck whatever you decide.

Sounds like an adventure to go on!!

Keep us updated with where the location is in WI and what you decide to do!!

Go for it. There are no fences keeping you in, should you and your DH decide Wisconsin is not for you.

I was born and raised in Wisconsin. I lived most of my life there (northern and southeastern). I, coincidently, now live in GA.

If you have questions, please reach out.

You know, there's never anything wrong with applying. They may say no, and you guys can always say no. An offer doesn't mean you have to take it!

I saw he sent in the resume, I think that's a good move and y'all can still consider in the meantime. But based on what you say here, I don't think moving would be a bad idea. There are always pros and cons about any move, but it sounds like you're pretty OK with the move, so why not?

I’m a little biased because I live in WI, born and raised here. But you sound really excited about the idea, so I say heck yes, go for it. If he gets an offer, take the leap!! 😀

Same and agreed!

It would depend on where “middle WI” is exactly. I’d maybe consider Eau Claire, but any more “middle” than that and you have some pretty rural areas. How far is it to a decent grocery store? To Target? To a hard ware store? And the biggest—would you be in the middle of Trump Territory?

And I’d explore what your career options are. It sounds like you work in a pretty big hospital now. You’re not going to see that in a rural area. There would probably be a medical center, but anything major would be done at a hospital in a large city. Would you commute in the snow?

We’ve lived in some major cities in our adult lives—LA, Seoul, Boston, Washington DC and the like. We just moved to Minneapolis last year. Even in the city, it’s definitely a different mindset. It’s not necessarily bad, but it is different. But I’m always on edge at family stuff in the more rural areas because of the Trump issues.
