Start at the beginning... Where you live now, you are near family. You know where all of your "vital" services are - the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker to paraphrase. Where you are going to, you know NOTHING. You will have to rediscover every aspect of living in that area. You will also be a LONG ways from family and friends. Is the money really worth it??? How about the cost of living in the new area. The cost of living in the Iowa City area along with cost of replacing what you have where you are could outweigh the pay raise. Add to that uprooting the family and taking them far away from THEIR friend and relations.
In my personal experience....... I have done one major relocation in my life. It was just me, no family involved. Starting over is NOT easy. It takes time. Now, after over 30 years in my "new" location, it has become home, but it sure did take a while. Some of the drawbacks that I suffered were the costs of travelling to family gatherings (wedding/funeral/first communion, etc.) in addition to being somewhat left out of the loop when family crises arose. For years, AT&T was gouging me for long distance phone charges from keeping in touch. When my mother was critically ill and on her death bed, I travelled every weekend to see her for 6 months.
In summary, if I had it to do over again would I? By myself, maybe. With a family, NO WAY ON EARTH!!!!!!! You do what you think is best for all concerned, and may the Lord help you to make the right decision.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
