Moving Question

I've recieved some questions, so figured I should explain myself some more....
So the deal with us moving.......we are keeping our fingers crossed for a relocation offer from the company. I don't think PBAL as a unit is going to stay around. My suspicions are that the lab will be under PGRD and that the site QA in St. Louis will be the only QA needed. I'm done with the lab QA stuff. I want to get more involved with clinical trials or just at least with something bigger than this. So I think PBAL will be gone after the middle of next year. That is when Aaron and I will both be done with our Masters degrees. We just want to do something new. Go on an adventure. We can always come back if we don't like it, but right now is the time in our lives we can just pick up and go, experience someplace new, live life. We kind of feel like we've "done" Missouri, and there isn't a lot more exploring here. The relocation package here is perfect, so it wouldn't set us behind. We are hoping to get up to the north east: Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts - around there. Yes we've already gotten all the "It costs so much, you will never be able to afford your house there, blah blah blah." Our plan would be to go out and get like even just a two bedroom studio apartment or something - the smallest we can do with for at least a year, and just explore every weekend. There is something so appealing about that we could really go down to the bare basics of what we needed as a family and just make it happen. We'd all still be happy without a basement full of toys, heck, the kids don't even need beds, they mostly sneak in with us or sleep in their "Special bed" of a blanket and pillow at the end of our bed!!! We don't need a big kitchen, or big living room...none of that, we just need each other. "Home" is wherever we are for the kids, so as long as we are happy and flow with the punches, they will feed off of that.
Sooooo, that is our plan. Keep your fingers crossed that I can find a job internally to get us there.
