Return home
I drove to Charlotte yesterday for my sisters wedding. It was a very long drive, thankfully I didn't get stuck in Washington DC traffic. Overall the drive was relatively pleasant. My butt was sore afterwards from sitting still for so long, but other then that things went well.
So I sit here in my parents kitchen blogging.
It feels odd to be back here. I know I have to edit myself because my siblings read my journal, and the last thing I want to do is cause drama by being honest.
I've grown up. I've moved on. This is not where I'm from anymore. Although I love the people here very much we have grown in different ways. We aren't the family we once were, and I suppose that's natural as children leave the home and get married. It feels disconcerting. I knew I would go through something like this, but to stand in the mist of my childhood home see my room has changed, to notice that I have changed I'm not the person I was when I lived here is awkward and self actualizing.
Change is always awkward at first I imagine.
In other news, it looks like Joe may be getting a job offer from another company doing consulting work. Very exciting.
Caitlyn is going to come home with me and spend a few days hanging out. I'm looking forward to her company on the drive back up. It should be neat, we're planning on going to NYC Monday, and then bop around Princeton Tuesday and see the Vagina Monologues that evening. She's flying back home Wednesday.
but that's it for now....
