And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. 20

Once again in our lives, we had a choice to make, and we went for it! It was hard, a rough row to hoe, but we made it, together as a family, for the good of our family. We made up our minds, not unlike our last move, picked a date, and we went for it. I traveled out a few times starting January testing and interviewing until it was getting too expensive to keep going back and forth due to the frequency. The first week or so of March, we all came. I knew you would fall in love with San Marcos and get the drive I had to relocate there.So be it, we were half way back to ElPaso in Junction when Daddy got a call for to interview the next day. He asked, “What do I do?” and I said, “Turn the car around!”We took the road less traveled.We gave our notice wihtout either one of us having jobs secured in San Marcos. Lily, Mommy, and one of the dogs traveled ahead because I had another interview scheduled and Daddy came later that week.It has been two months now and we all LOVE IT HERE! The only thing I’d change is to have done it sooner. Always remember it is perserverance, to set goals, and that only you can change your surroundings so don’t whine about it, make a change. You can do it!We took the road less traveled. That has made all the difference.
