20260307 Can I let go?

I reached out to Jill the realtor tonight, asking if she would be interested in potentially being our selling agent.
It was an extremely hard decision, and i have no idea what to think.. i love the house, i love texas, and i love being a texan..I know, however, that it might be not an ideal place due to weather(Tornado/Hail) & LM Job Opportunity.

Thinking about it, it is probably mostly due to LM Job Opportunity.

What am i really thinking about? Why am i so attached to the house?
