D and I have so little in common on a superficial level&#8212;i.e. things that aren&#8217;t theology or philosophy or politics and are easy to talk about and get excited over&#8212;that a move may be a very real way to foster closeness.  As reasons to move go, that&#8217;s a pretty good one, especially on top of all the other intrinsic mountain qualities pulling us that direction.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the mountains, the frequency with which my parents visit the area is amazing to me, especially considering it&#8217;s a 5.5-hour drive for them from Chapel Hill.  Needless to say, I don&#8217;t think either of them are really dragging their feet when the other decides another trip is a good idea.  I find it hard to imagine they won&#8217;t be moving there long-term, or at least buying property in the area and spending a good chunk of the year there.  Makes me happy to think about that possibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>it&#8217;s cold and there&#8217;s nothing to do Josh and Jonathan made good points on Tuesday when I (hesitantly) shared with them D&#8217;s and my long-term desire to move to the mountains: For spouses, and even kids, to be so completely in sync about a move is a rare enough thing that it&#8217;s not situation to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2277"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2277"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2277\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2278,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2277\/revisions\/2278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boldulysses.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
