I finished up Summer Session I classes weeks ago, but this summer has still been crazy busy. I went to visit my mother in Virginia with Alexis, Brenda and Nick, which was nice. We got to see a lot of historical things that got me excited, like Appomattox Courthouse and Thomas Jefferson's summer home. Kevin has spent a weekend with me both at my dad's and at my grandmothers. This past weekend Kevin took me to meet his family in Chesterton, IN (near Chicago) and we spent a day in Chicago. We move in two weeks, and I still have lots to do before then (doctor's appts., whatnot). My dad wants to take me on a rafting trip and I'm going to try to spend some time in Fort Wayne. Gah.
Kevin's family was so amazing. I felt like I fit in really well and it was as if I had known them forever. I felt stupid for being so nervous---I didn't want to leave! And Chicago was amazing.
I'm looking at editing jobs outside of Chicago. It's scary, but I have to do this, I have to go outside of my comfort zone. And Kevin has more than hinted now that he wants to live with me after graduation, wherever that may be. I still feel like it's soon to be planning that, but at the same time that part doesn't scare me. Kevin shows me more every day that he has a giant heart and it's all for me, I'm working on opening my heart to match. I'm a lucky girl.
Everything is going well, I hope it stays that way.
