What was the original motivation for moving here?

It's the next town over from where my husband is from, and where the nucleus of his family is. We all get along well, so it has been so wonderful for starting and raising our family. Still, it was hard for me for the first bunch of years. I probably would have been happier if we did the Portland renting thing for a bit before buying in our rural town, but in retrospect with housing prices, thank GOODNESS we bought when we did. But yeah, I married a Mainer and I knew that meant moving to Maine.
