I'm kind of in a strange situation. 3 months ago, I got hired full time by a company that opened an office in my hometown. I've been freelancing for a year so when I landed this job, I was ecstatic. The job had great pay, benefits and hours. I got to lead a lot of projects and for the first time in my professional life, I was happy. 

Last Tuesday morning I walk into the office and notice my boss's stuff is gone. The other two partners call to inform me that my direct boss (let's call him John) has just been bought out of the company. Since me and John were the only employees at this new office, this doesn't look to end well for me. I now work alone. It sucks because my boss was an awesome guy. 

The only reason I still have a job right now is because I'm in the middle of a project that I managed from day one. The two partners are flying down to see me on Tuesday. The deadline for the project is Wednesday. Im almost certain I'll be out of a job by the end of the month. 

I started searching for another job and found another great fit 3 hours away. The problem with this is, I'm very close with my family and have never lived more than an hour from them. Not only this but this would mean I'd have to uproot my girlfriends life as well (we're basically married). Not to mention she'd have to go through all the pain if transferring schools. I don't want to put her through that but she insists that I should apply for this new job. Job market moves fast so I need to decide what to do quickly. 

Right now I can live off my savings for 6 to 8 months but I'd rather not dip into my rainy day fund. I want to get back to work as soon as I can. Unfortunately this job paid so well anywhere I go I'll have to take a pay cut.

Theres so many things going through my head. I'm not sure what to do. Can someone offer some sound advice?
<bot>: looks like I'm losing my job soon due to a management buyout. Only places hiring is halfway across the state but idk about moving because of my family and girlfriend.
