DECIDING THE FUTURE

Sometimes, I think I have a serious issue with staying in one place. Then I remember I am young and unattached and looking for the right place that allows me to be me. Is that so wrong?

I love the Outer Banks in all its raw beauty, naivety and pure simple “life on a sandbar” mentality. But I have outgrown the OBX and possibly had done so before even moving here. On the other hand, I think Adam secretly loves his life on a sandbar and never wants to leave.

I’m starting a list, must-haves for my new city. If this sounds like the city you love or live in or both, please feel free to share with me because I’m making another list at the same time, and maybe you can help: Where 

should we move? Help me choose the perfect city.

 I’m looking for a city  . . .

...with Adam and Lola.

…that has hiking, walking trails, green space, and trail running paths that are easy to get to and they aren’t too crowded either!

…with craft brews that are easy to come by.

…with relatively low cost of living – I don’t have a lot of cash money folks and I’d like to be able to save for bigger and better things.

… with live music, the good kind. One time Adam and I saw 5 concerts in 1 week in Raleigh. This was a rare occurrence for us, but we really enjoyed it.

… that’s easy to get to. We have lots of friends and family and we definitely want them to come visit.

… with professionalism and a good job market.

…with fun weather, snow in the winter, thunderstorms in the summer.

…where I can by a house and settle down for a while.

…that is eco-friendly and green and dedicated to making a better footprint.

Any thoughts on where I should move folks?
