Ty O'Neal,
Of all the people that I have talked to about this move, your advice sits at the top. Thank you very much for your heart felt input. I will share your post with Laurie as it reinforces a few concerns I have that concern her. I think the fact that we would be coming home every six month for six weeks would help. Three years isn't that long and it would be one heck of an adventure!
Thanks again...I'll be in touch soon.
Curtis
