Settling Down?...What's that?

Well, after spending a year back here in Pine Bluff, AR, we are off to the west coast again. When we left the SF Bay area for Arkansas back in 2001, we had no clue where our final destination would be. We knew that seminary in Massachusetts would be part of our quest, but that was our only vision at the time. After leaving Arkansas for Massachusetts in 2003, we had no idea that our stay in Massachusetts would go 3 years beyond the original 3 years it would take Alex to receive his M.Div. Circumstances prompted us to remain there for 6 years, allowing our 3 children to grow up as New Englanders, which was a great experience for our family. Then...back to Arkansas in the summer of 2009. Now circumstances are prompting us to go back to California...southern, this time. Alex and the kids are there now, allowing the boys to start school and get settled into a routine. I hope to follow very shortly, after finding a renter for our house. ok...now thats alot of moving. (and i didn't even mention the 5 different homes we lived in while in Mass) Any of you thirty somethings (quickly approaching the forty somethings) out there wonder if you will ever feel settled? ...or am i the only one?
