I talked it over with DH, and he thinks we'd be better if we moved to ATL. He is going to be transfering to a different college soon, and being in the city would give him a lot more options and make the commute much easier. His family (and the beach) will be farther, but not to far to come home and since every other week I'll have a long weekend we can come down as often as we want.
The money is a little better, the benefits are the same, except I'll actually be off holidays and I'll end up with fewer hours than I work now. Plus, since I'll still be with the state, I get to keep all my accrued vacation (360 hours) and sick leave (300 hours) . (after so many hours accrued you forfeit it and it counts towards total time in service instead, I have about six weeks of forfeited leave.) So throw in a better atmosphere and the ability to volunteer at the zoo and aquarium and I've decided if they offer it, I'm taking the leap!
Cross your fingers and thanks for all you input!

Thanks ladies! The more I think about it, the more it just feels right.
The position closes on the 18th and then it'll take a few days for HR to sort them out and then they will call for interviews the following week. So hopefully at the end of the month or early June I'll at least know if I got an interview.
