Thanks fella's. We cut the trip sort by a day so I didn't see everything I wanted to see. I was impressed by Billings. Lots to offer and it didn't feel like a big city to me. It's probably been 15 years or so since we lived in any town with more than 10,000 people. The job market seems very strong, which is important for me. I don't have a "career" and am pretty versatile. It would be great to have more than one company to choose from while job hunting, like it is around here.
We are waiting for the official offer from my wife's company before we make any decisions. The cost of living is significantly higher than where we live now. The hotel she would take over is significantly larger. So, we figure the dollar amount they tender should also be significantly high than what she makes now. We don't know what they are thinking, but if the money is right we will be moving.
