The difference doesn't stop there. Maybe it's an east coast/ west coast dissimilarity but life is slower. It's not just the 25 mph speed limit! People tend to walk at a normal pace and stress levels seem to be lower. This lifestyle directly translates into the workforce in both challenging and positive ways. In the admissions world, families seem to see deadlines more as suggestions. While it may be a struggle to work with grey deadlines it is sure a perk to have a flexible schedule.

Growing roots in Idaho
As I've mentioned several times to my fellow TTAs - Idaho is a welcome change from Massachusetts. When commuting in Boston, I ran into daily rush hour traffic. When commuting in Idaho to Community School, the "traffic jams" are caused by moose.
