Oh yeah...
I suppose I should note that I've decided to keep my current job. That came about because I inquired on working remotely, and everyone quickly agreed to keep me on staff. This is kinda cool, because I'll get to see what it's like with no commute and with some more time to cook - things like that. It also becomes harder for the doofuses of the workplace to find me and bog me down. When they have to write email, they have to have their thoughts at least a LITTLE composed, instead of just walking up and saying, "I have a problem, can you fix it?" ... and that's not much of an exaggeration.
It also presents the fun of remote staff meetings. We have someone that does teleconferencing and things like that, so she's having fun setting up the way for me to ring in with a webcam. This brings in lots of ideas like sock puppets, backdrops, sitting my bunny in front of the webcam... you know the type of thing.
The good part is that this secures our second income, so I can move even without our house being sold. It will suck to have to come back into town to do anything the house requires having done - but whatever. It's better to be with my wife and have to worry about travelling for real estate that to be dealing with real estate by myself and travelling on the weekends to see my wife. That's an easy one.
