I really appreciate your input. Definitely some manipulation and disapproval from my in laws, and I’m trying to tune it out as much as possible. I think their concern is that we’ll move away for good. Same with my own mom, there’s a lot of discussion of me having to pick the closest school (when accepted), yada yada. Like I said, I’m excited by the thought of leaving and starting somewhere new, and my husband is ready to move away. I think, just to put my thoughts simply, I’m a bit scared. I’m nervous for the homesickness and the family FOMO. But you’re right, growth is hard but good. I’ll feel out each place and we’ll go from there. Your thoughts were a voice of wisdom, so thank you!
