sara, I don't think there is anything weird about that, personally. but then again, I'm a mover. I like heading to different areas of the country. I would move to certain areas of VA in a heartbeat (if I won the lottery, lol). and when h and I were together, we moved 4 times in 5 or 6 years, and I fully intended to move at least a few more before we settled for a while (all for his job, he kept getting promoted and they each meant a move).

15 years ago I worked with a woman who was so angry. she was in her 50s and her best friend (they had been friends their whole life) decided to move to florida. she was pissed beyond belief. the friend's kids were grown and on their own, but she did not think her friend should abandon her kids to go live in another state. felt it was her responsibility to keep the home fires burning for them forever, I guess.

I remember being really shocked by that reaction. I guess the way I see it is life is too short to stay somewhere just because you've been there for a while.

were you close to her?
