I'll try to stick to CNs, but that's not my forte:
To sum up, FI and I live in a BEAUTIFUL area of NC. We love the weather and all of the wonderful people we've met. In fact, about 20 of them are willing to make the trip up to IN for our wedding and we've only known them all a few years. The problem is, we aren't moving forward in our careers. I am joust barely skimming the surface of mine and FI isn't at all. This town is just to small.
We've discussed our future a lot and what we think we need to do to jumpstart our careers, get back into school, etc and came up with a plan. FI was accepted into a very well known comedy academy in Chi-town. Major pros: It will be closer to our families (Indianapolis), I will have many more opportunities, it's an amazing city, and he can finally chase his dream. Cons: It's mother fvcking cold in Chicago, and we will deeply miss our friends and beach lifestlye here. So obviously, pros win.
Here's why we are crazy. Our wedding is September 30th. We are planning on spending our honeymoon packing and moving back up to Indiana for a few months to live with my sis (rent free) in order to save money and move to Chicago in January so he can start his courses. And we would be in closer proximity to job/apt hunting. Because of paying for the wedding, there is no way we can go straight from our current location to Chicago. If we want to be financially smart, we must suck it up and make a pit stop. I already know we are crazy for moving to Chicago in the dead of winter, but what about moving 13 hours away, 4 days after the wedding? And into a home with my sis, her bf, and my niece? Is this is going to be looming over my head the entire week before our wedding? Weddings are stressful and so is moving so are we crazy to make all of these changes so close together?
We are SO excited about the changes we are making, but I'm a worry wart and I'm afraid of how much this will stress me out.
