Considering relocating...Nothing to lose or am I overlooking something?

I would give it a shot why not? Your losing your home and going to have to move anyways!! Hire does your son feel about it? The only thing I woulda do different us apply for positions before you go. Not just in houston but other places you would like to live to see if u can land a job first! Good luck I've always wanted to pack up everything and move far away!!!
