I haven't talked about RRC since November, when I went to visit, have I?
I've been thinking a lot this week about my future career plans. Lauren and I decided that she was going to do a job search in two places, Minneapolis, which is our home, and Philadelphia, home to RRC, and that if she didn't get something in one of those places, she'd stay here (if possible). Somewhere along the line, we got so homesick that we sort of... forgot about Philly. But this week, I've found myself wondering about our focus on MN. I mean, if we end up going home, will I ever want to leave to go to RRC?
I know that if it's important enough to me, we'll make it happen. But at the same time... We're talking about starting to have kids in the next couple of years, and we've been looking at the housing market to see how reasonable it is. If we bought a house and got pregnant in the next couple of years, would I really want to pick up and move to another state, where we don't know anyone, right in the middle of all that? It would be hard. And I'm not willing to put off the nesting-related plans we're making for anything.
I don't have any answers, except that we'll keep considering both Minneapolis and Philadelphia, but just for today (and we all know I change my mind about life every damn day), I'm kind of feeling like Philly might be the better choice...
