So here's my second attempt at blogging...I started the first time when I was abroad and sucked at it, so I thought I'd try again when I make my big move Southwest to Arizona! So in exactly a week from today I'll be leaving on a monumental road trip from Wisconsin to Arizona. Google Maps claims that it's going to take 29 hours...and I fully expect it to take that long...if not longer as I'm pulling a trailer with all of my crap! Lord knows I have enough stuff...and I know it's not all going to fit in the trailer...so my parents get to drive down with the rest of the stuff that doesn't fit at a later date.
This whole process of moving to Arizona has been stressful! It all started on a whim when I applied to Arizona State University one COLD February afternoon, because I was unhappy in Minnesota. As much as I loved it there for the four years I was there, I'm just not meant for that awful climate. The winter's are horrendous...and you don't see the sun for ages...so why not move to Arizona?!
See the problem with moving, is this whole starting over thing. I'm leaving behind some of the most amazing people I've ever known in my life! I sometimes wonder if it's the right idea to move away, but I really feel like it's something that I have to do at this point in my life. If I hadn't left the Twin Cities when I did, I'd never have left them at all. So now I'm living at home in Burlington, WI at my parents house. WHICH...is nice...but pretty awful at the same time. It feels like I've taken 20 major steps backwards in my life by moving back home, even if it IS just a temporary situation. It's nice to be here and all, but I'm ready to be on my own again. I'm too independent for this...I need to be on my own again. THANKFULLY...I have an apartment waiting for me down in Arizona.
Not going to lie...I'm pretty excited by the thought of having beautiful weather year round...being able to wear flip flops in the middle of January. Can't wait. Long story short...I'm very excited for this new journey and adventure in my life. I'm ready to go down and meet some new people while never losing touch with those from MN. It'll be nice to have family down in the area and to know some people when I get there!
Anyways I'll try my very hardest to be better at blogging this time around!! :)
You better never lose touch! I mean, we do talk every day. But I can't imagine if that would slip to once a week. Or (eek!) once a month... Let's not let that happen. Seriously. No.
