My job isn't perfect. Most aren't. I'd like more money. Most people do. I'd like a lighter teaching load. That goes without saying. But I decided a while ago that I didn't want my primary identity to be through my job.

The photo above is a simple shot of the world through my front window. I'm not sure there are many jobs for which I am trained and suited that can outstrip having that view available. There are plenty of other reasons for wanting to live in a place, and the job should be in support of living in a place that makes everyone in your family feel right. So, that said. I'm really happy here. Who knows what that'll mean in the future, but for now, we're very happy.
