Some thoughts on moving.

I have lived in Sioux City for 24 years, except for the nine months I lived in Des Moines while attending Drake University. That’s a long time. That’s 86% of my lifetime in one city.

I’ve been ready to move away for quite a while. I’m totally ready for a change of scenery. For an adventure and feeling of purpose. Now there’s a good possibility that we will actually move in the near future. And it’s a little freaky. What I’m not totally ready for is being miles and miles away from my family. And my friends. I know people do it all the time, but I’m a wuss.

I don’t like having such conflicting thoughts about this, but whatev. I’m pretty sure that I’d prefer a meaningful life to a complacent one.

good thoughts. moving is scary but it is one of the situations that helps me to grow most. you really challenge yourself and learn to grow in areas you didn't even know you needed to. keep us updated :)
