Agree with Growing Sideways. Your writing is moving and layered. Also I adore the photos. You could be telling a very different story with those pics, more of a Facebook, "isn't my life enviable" account. The honesty and vulnerability takes this in a different, more meaningful direction.

Love this so much! I appreciate your vulnerability about the difficulty of being an outsider, aka flatlander, an experience so many of us feel in different situations. This sentence especially got me: "I need to prove that I am decent and thoughtful, authentic and self-sufficient (the latter is especially important here in Vermont). I’m no Danielle Boone, but I’m also not Eva Gabor either..." Funny and honest and perceptive.
