You are brave, we have been contemplating moving to AZ from Illinois . It would mean selling our house , my husband having to find a new job , buying a new house but having to live with my Dad until we could get another mortgage , eliminating most of 30 years worth of stuff , packing, moving it , and storing it until we have our own place again. Moving 3 dogs, 2 cats , fish, and three parakeets . Also my collection of treasured plants . My library . I want to do it but it terrifies me as well. My spine truly also limits how much of the moving I could do :-(
