This was so lovely to read. As a born Michigander and a spouse who also didn’t anticipate so many moves, this resonated so strongly.

This essay resonated with me. My husband and I have been on a moving journey similar to this one moving from state to state for his job. One of the moves was very emotional and unexpected. Now that I look back, I can see all the things that have come out of our moves. All of the things and people we have gained and I am forever grateful for the journey my husband and I have been on together the last 13 years.

That's beautiful, Nicole. Moving can be so exhilarating and terrifying. How special to be able to reflect on the years and see the benefit of all those miles together.

Love picturing all the roads our relationships go through. Going-to-the-Sun road is amazing! And also, it can be terrifying to drive on.

Love this! My marriage also started with a drive, 1.5 hours along I-5, Stockton to UC Davis. I asked my someday husband to go with me to pick up my sister for the weekend. Best idea I ever had! 🥰
