The reasons many return to Michigan run the gamut. Some are lured by the desire to be near family and friends. Some see an economic landscape ripe for entrepreneurial opportunities, and others are heeding a call to invest in their native state and help bring Michigan out of its lingering slump.
Ryan & I went home to Lansing this last weekend and both got crazy, crazy homesick. It really didn’t hurt that the weather was unbelievably perfect and things were looking up from last time. I would really love for it to be realistic to go home but I am not sure what I would even do there. Maybe I could figure something out.
Ohio just doesn’t do spring like mid-Michigan and Cleveland just doesn’t do anything like Lansing. Except, you know, employ me.
Spring in Michigan is a powerful thing. I accepted a job offer back in Madison in March, in the midst of winter doldrums. Now that it’s absolutely gorgeous outside and my current employer is continually asking me to reconsider, I’m second guessing my decision. As much as I love the city and people of Madison, Wisconsin’s weather never left me in awe quite like this.
