Intentional living...?

So Sarah and I are getting our first taste of intentional living. We have discussed the pros and cons of the JHC community a lot, and have even asked a few of the permanate members how they found JHC and decided to join. We are still deciding how we feel about intentional community living, as two young people who really need their own space and prvacy. In the main house, there are five adults and three children permanately sharing the same space. The house is rather large, one level sprawling out in many different directions - pretty much a maze of rooms and bathrooms. We all cook dinner every night together, and so far the dinners have been excellent both in food and conversation.
We are still discussing the various components of intentional living and will continue to do so throughout our experience here. So far we have decided that it could be a good experience, pooling resources together for in a large family setting of support and love, but only if we could have our own personal living and breathing room.
