A co-worker recently asked me if I ever considered moving closer to my job. Currently my commute is an hour each direction and Tim’s is about an hour and a half each way. A while ago we talked about it, and decided that while the drives are long, our ending destination (home) is surrounded by family and a close knit community. We are close to the water and in a relatively rural area. To move closer to either of our jobs while the other is still working would mean that we would be living in confining urban sprawl, lower ranked schools, no community support, and with one of us still having an excruciating drive. So for now I will gladly embrace my commute if it means Friday night farmers markets, Sunday morning church, and close friends and family to travel through life with. 🙂
