Do you like Decatur/living in GA? H still talks about wanting to move south, specifically to Georgia. We have friends in the Duluth area and have been down there a handful of times, my best friend got married in Buckhead, but I feel like we haven't seen "enough" to make a big move down there while most of our family and friends are here in NY! He keeps mentioning Lawrenceville, and I'm pretty sure we've never passed through there, yet he wants to move there? LOL. So, do you like it in GA?
Re: panda
Does your H have a job prospect down here? I wouldn't leave your jobs now and move down here without a job in place. I'm sure your business is moveable, but I don't know what your H does.
GA itself I'm beginning to really love. The weather is gorgeous so far and I wake up the sound of birds. The species down here sound a lot nicer than the ones up north, I think.
Duluth is half an hour away and Buckhead is over an hour away, I haven't been to either. Decatur itself seems to be hit and miss. I'm sure you can afford nicer digs than we can, so you would be able to live in an area that's nicer, not that we live in a bad part of town at all. The part we're in seems kind of industrial, but it's not technically. Hard explain. Maybe it's just different from what I'm used to. The mall around the corner is vastly vacant and the only thing the food court has is Wendy's. But there are malls farther away that have really high end stuff - Burberry and places I can't even walk into; that mall was like three stories tall. You might be interested in Midtown ATL, it seems up-in-coming.
What's super awesome though is that downtown Decatur is adorable, but also downtown ATL is right.there. Great shopping, food, museums, theatre, the whole shebang is barely a drive away. There's lots of ethnic restaurants, too, if you like that kind of thing - I've seen lots of Thai and Indian places just driving around. Also there's tons of touristy attractions that I love - zoo, aquarium, World of Coca Cola, you can tour CNN (and hope to run into Anderson Cooper
), etc.
Sorry that was long! So yeah, basically I like it here and I'm sure I'll like it more once I actually find some friends.

No, not long, I appreciate the lengthy response!!! H works in the financial industry and can pretty much transfer anywhere with very little problem.
See, what you say about liking it more once you find friends is like one of my biggest issues with moving. I love my friends here and finding new ones/more friends just seems stressful.
I mean, I feel like if he wants to try it down there, maybe we can rent a house for like a year or something to try it out? We really want to build but I don't want to build this house in an area that ends up being hit or miss. I feel like I'm comfortable with where we live now, area wise, so we'd know where we'd want to build/not around here. The area, schools, etc. But, we can get SO much more bang for our buck down south, not to mention the nicer weather. I'm so torn! LOL.
Living close to downtown seems fun, although I lived in Manhattan for a while and that got old pretty quickly. You have to tell me if you run into Anderson Cooper!
