That this month starts my fifth year in Houston. There have been only two periods in my life where I've lived in the same place for longer than three years; both up in Washington when I was a child.
I keep trying to convince myself that I want to settle down, but I think there's a transient nature I picked up growing up that gets me wanting to move. Maybe I'm feeling like it's time again.
The irony is that I do have some anxiety when I move. Go figure.

I understand that, hence, my latest conundrum. Last time I lived in Houston, I changed residences every year. It's just a lot harder with three kids, school systems, daycares and all our stuff.
I think that just means you should move. You can stay in Houston but find a new house/apartment. That is what we have been doing here in WA. I too was really transient growing up, I find it very hard to stay in one place for too long, just seems wrong!
If you move somewhere, move somewhere cool...and where things are within walking distance. That way, I have an excuse to go there.

Jamie,
Walking distance? Like New Orleans? although, if I live there, then I'll know how to get places and won't have to rely on "it's near that building," when we're less than a block away.
I never did eat there.
