Tough decisions

Matt and I have a few difficult decisions to make in the first few months of the new year. He has received an offer from the United Space Alliance that he cannot turn down. They want him to do a co-op, meaning that he will work for them for about 6 months and then finish his senior year of school. When he's done, he's basically got a job in mission control in Houston locked. This is his dream job, so declining it is not an option.

That leaves us some difficult decisions. Starting this May, he'll move to Houston for an undetermined amount of time (we don't have all of the details yet). But we do know that he'll have to move back to Daytona Beach to finish his last year of school. Now, the question is whether I'll move to Houston with him or not. There are pros and cons to both sides. If I opt to stay in Daytona, I'll still have my job and friends. If I move to Houston right away, I'll be with him, but moving is a pain, I'd have to find another job, and I'd be on my own once he goes back to school.

I've rolled over this in my head a lot over the last week, and I'm no closer to deciding what I want to do. Once we know the full details of his co-op, then maybe the decision will be more clear. What to do?
