Reader’s Choice #1
Since I put out a call last Sunday for questions, I have received a few that I am willing to tackle. My answers have been on my mind, but I haven’t had much time to sit and actually write about them. As luck would have it, Ladybug and her two cousins are all three napping together at the moment. I’m in the other room with my feet propped up relaxing in a comfy chair.
Ok. Here’s the question!
Beth (who never leave a website, but is a faithful commenter) writes: “Here is my question: Where do you think you’ll end up living when Dr. D has completed all his training? Will you go where the best opportunity is, or will you head back closer to home?”
Well, Beth. That’s a good one. To be quite honest, I’m just not sure where we will go! Dr. D has yet to determine exactly what area of Psychiatry that he would like pursue for his Fellowship, and that could lead us to a different city for a short amount of time. (A Fellowship is shorter amount of time than his Residency will be.)
Now, when he is completely finished with his training, I would like to go back closer to where our family lives. Unfortunately, I just don’t see that happening. I have a feeling that we are going to be the “Black Sheep” of the family. You know, the ones that move far away and never come back “home” to live.
I never would have expected my little family to move to Michigan. If you had asked me 10 years ago, I would have told you that I would be living in Little Rock, Arkansas. I have always loved to travel and see new places, but I was very content with my little corner of the world. I had all of my friends and family nearby where I could see them at any time. I was comfortable–perhaps too much so.
I can honestly say that I am glad that we moved. I really like the town where we are currently living, and once we get a new house, I think that our living situation will be greatly improved. I don’t regret this move one bit. There are days when I loathe the fact that we are so far away from our family, but I have never been just down and depressed because I have regretted moving out of my comfort zone.
For those of you “rules sticklers” out there, I know that I didn’t exactly give an answer to the question. But the truth is this: I just don’t know. We could move back to Arkansas, or we could stay in Michigan. Or we could move somewhere equally as nice. I just don’t know!

Life changes are risky.
But an adventure, for sure!
I hope you move close to me (not trying to be selfish or anything!)

Yep, I often wonder where we’ll end up as well! I’m glad though that we did get to experience life in other parts - we would have never lived here if it wasn’t for the internship. So anyway, I completely understand your answer!
Allison’s last blog post..The day with Jenna
I know that we’ll probably never leave Grand Rapids, much less Michigan. At least it would take a pretty big crowbar to pry my hubby out of this state (except for about 2 months in the winter, when anywhere south starts to look pretty good, lol). And I’m kind of partial to it too, but haven’t really ever lived anywhere else to compare it to. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve missed out on anything because of that.

Hey! Thanks for picking my question! I don’t have a blog, so it makes my day to be mentioned in one of the blogs I read.
I totally understand your answer. I think it is great that you are so willing to go where the journey takes you. Some people would be complaining about leaving home, and not happy until they got back. You never know what life has in store for you, so it is good to keep an open mind. What a great attitude you have!
Oh, and that picture of ladybug napping was very cute!
