Because yes, I'm a wimp
It's no secret to the people who know us that Kevin and I are planning on moving out of California sometime within the next 5-7 years. Neither of us has lived outside of the state since we were born, and I've never lived farther north than Los Angeles. We want to live somewhere with actual seasons at some point in our lives.Right now the two top contenders on our Places To Move list are Wisconsin (probably Madison) and Georgia (probably outside Atlanta somewhere). We've been to Wisconsin and we like Wisconsin. We have friends in Wisconsin and we'd still be close enough to Chicago for me to get my big city fix but with enough space to satisfy my husband's craving for less people. On the other hand, we have family in Georgia; my Most Awesome Aunt & Uncle are there, along with their kids and grandkids. Our company has tons of offices in the state, so it'd be easy to transfer. We've been there, and Kevin has declared Georgia acceptable.
Lately, it's been a pretty neck and neck race between the two states. Compared to California, it's worlds cheaper to live in either of them, we're familiar with both of them and we know people in both of them.
But then today I saw this:
Temps rise in storm-stricken Midwest
...and I have to say, I think Georgia just eeked a little bit forward in the polls.
(But don't tell my husband, because I think he's already dreaming of white Christmases.)
