Re: Currently live in New Braunfels...

and really like the Hill Country. We've only been here for four years, having moved from Bham, AL. and we love this area. Making the decision to move again so soon is a tough one, but the Panhandle is like my second home and my wife is originally from Ft. Walton Beach.

Her brother is an architect who lives just off of Hwy 30-A. Her mom lives on Choctawhatchee Bay just off 393. Despite having younger kids, we are in our mid-forties and the thought of being close to Grandma and the beach may be too much of a draw not to move.

Our biggest concerns are the cost of housing and quality of the public schools. We love the area and the people already.

This may be one of those once in a lifetime opportunities that is just too good to pass up. My goal has always been to eventually retire over there, but this opportunity has kind of sneaked up on us unexpectantly. I pray we make the right call.

Beachdad, I say seize the moment!!!!!
 
:welcome: Beachdad! This community/schools are great for families. Jdarg and family just moved here last month and are extremely happy with their decision. Their son attends Emerald Coast Middle and loves the school, other kids and the teachers. We all look forward to meeting you guys!:clap_1:

I can't say anything negative about our move- it has been a wonderful experience. Yes, the housing is expensive, but to us it was worth it to live south of the bay and be close to everything we love. Will loves Emerald Coast Middle- it is very small and we get lots of personal attention.

Start packing!
 
Hey I really appreciate the replies everyone...

My job negotiations are just about complete. Looks like everything is going to be a go. Somebody is going to have to pinch me because I can't believe this is really happening.

Rather than move the kids mid-school year, we are going to wait until the end of the school year before my family is able to join me. Sounds like my kids will have no problem fitting in and from all indications, will get a good education.

Thanks so much for the feedback regarding the schools and athletic programs. I found that there is a traveling soccer program in the Destin area for my older son. I tried contacting their Pres by email but got no reply. Does anybody know anyone connected to the the Destin
Wave Football club?

Can't wait to get over there and to become part of the community.
