Thank you for the input. I grew up in a rural area and don't mind the solitude. We are thinking we should do a 'scouting' trip this spring and spend some time looking at all the different areas. I agree that renting would be the smart thing to do... but no one ever accused me of being smart!! (joking)
Besides, I really want to move once, not twice. I think we'll be out this spring and scout the areas. Thank you everyone!!
