I've had my mini freak out
So now I can start gathering information. Please tell me what you know about Tulsa. H has accepted a job offer there. It's off of the turnpike apparently, so it takes him about 90 min to get there from our house. He's going to commute for a while so he knows he enjoys it and we don't uproot our family before he's sure. But everything points that it will be a good fit. (it's a job with the company we've worked for for the past 6 years).
Tell me about Tulsa, please? (and maybe Bixby, Sapulpa, etc)Where to live, where NOT to live, shopping, things to do, your experiences? I'm thinking we would move within the next year and I need to be prepared. Sigh. Freaking out again. I'll probably DD this later. We haven't told really anyone but family yet. (they aren't very pleased, which makes it hard to be positive).
Re: I've had my mini freak out
Honestly, I am so GD jealous. I would do about ANYTHING to move away!!
Tulsa is a great place to raise a family. Broken Arrow is where most of my buds live and they love it. Jenks has really great schools as well, some of the best in the country. It is still super close to your family. I would be excited. I love Tulsa.
Ditto all of this.
I have never lived in Tulsa or the surrounding area but I go there quite a bit. My cousin lives in Kiefer which is about 15 mins from Tulsa and used to live in Sapulpa. He loves that area and his kids go to great schools. C's cousin lives in Jenks and loves it. I have not heard anything bad about Jenks; they have very good schools and housing. I agree with BobKat's vision of Sand Springs being too industrial. Mannford also has some great housing around Keystone Lake. There is a good amount of shopping in the Tulsa area and it's pretty easy to get around in.
I hope things work out for you all and you don't stress too much about the possibilty of moving.
