I am so comfortable in this town now (3 years after my first response) that the idea of leaving it is unpleasant. I know it will have to happen sometime; it's likely my husband won't be able to find work here and we will have to relocate. While he has applied for jobs everywhere, there are definitely preferred places on my list because I either know people already in those places, or feel like they have communities I would like to be a part of. Take Seattle, for example. I already have friends and family up there, and I've always found it an easy city to be in. I wouldn't mind Bend, Oregon either; Bend has a really awesome ultimate frisbee community that is very welcoming and friendly.
I vacillate between a desire to leave (this is the longest I've ever lived in one place) and a desire to stay (this is the best place I've ever lived).
