When my husband and I first crossed paths 13 years ago, our shared dream was a common desire to break free from the confines of our small hometown in Arkansas. Although we spent numerous married years in that familiar place, we often found ourselves caught in a cycle of indecision, uncertain about when and where to make a permanent move. Our journey involved periods of extensive travel, spanning months at times, yet the gravitational pull of our hometown, whether due to financial constraints or a lack of clarity about the next steps, repeatedly brought us back. The back-and-forth dance with our hometown continued for years, with occasional extended stays, but our hearts always yearned for the open road and the adventures it held.
