An opportunity has presented itself to our family that would involve us moving half way across the country to a small town near Springfield, MO.
It would appear from the real estate sites I have accessed that housing is cheaper than here, which is a good thing since hubby would be taking a significant paycut. But the work would be in ministry, and something he has wanted to do.
The move would mean taking the kids away from almost daily contact with my folks - something that would be hard for them all. We would be almost 1/2 way between both sets of grandparents. (Hubby's folks live in upstate NY)
Obviously this is a MAJOR decision to make, and am I looking for information about the area.
If you live there/or have lived there what do you like best about it? What do you like the least? Are there a lot of bugs, posionous snakes etc. What is the weather like? Are there lots of tornados, and other weahter related hazards?
TIA for your input about the area!
