The author felt it was important to live near family. Courtesy of Tonilyn Hornung I wanted to move our family from Los Angeles to Kentucky, and my husband was resistant. It took years for us to get on the same page. I wanted to live near family, and eventually, my husband agreed it was the right call. "I have a plan," the text to my friend began, "would you meet us for dinner so we can talk about the greatness of Louisville?" My plan was simple: Reassure my husband that leaving Los Angeles and moving to Kentucky was the right move. We both loved my hometown and always looked forward to our visits with my family. Still, my partner needed an objective opinion — someone who'd lived in LA but chose Louisville. I hit send, and the reply came quickly, "I'm in."
