I had no doubt that you were going to stay! I have watched you and your little Peppers grow and flourish learning and teaching and building a life there.
What you say makes sense and we have an alternate house that has the capability of being sustainable, but, hasn't pulled the trigger on moving there as a permanent thing. I haven't decided which house is better, but, honestly, this has become too close to Washington, DC for me. (I work there)
So, lots of thoughts going on, but, in the end, I feel like I am not doing myself any favors staying. Thanks for the nudge and good luck to you!
