When I come back to Olympia (I'm here now), and spend time with my family, I do not know what I am doing in Bellingham. I am satisfied with my life in Bellingham, I am happy, Kaden and I have a great time together, all of the time. I have done stuff in Bellingham that I never would've done otherwise, like take a yoga class, jog 2 miles in the mornings, run a 5k, and learn to cook. I am employed full time, though I am not making much money, and I love our apartment more than anywhere I've ever lived.
BUT MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE NOT THERE. I hadn't seen my parents since the mid-March. I'm gonna hang out with Brianna later, before I go home, but I couldn't even see Cree this trip. We have been sort-of planning to go to Portland and visit Amber over Memorial Day Weekend (since we haven't seen her IN A YEAR), but we might not, because it might be our only chance to see Kaden's brother Eric, who we also have not seen IN A YEAR.
I wonder how long it takes to go without seeing your friends before they aren't your friends any more. I'm really sad about it because we are friends with some of the best people in the whole entire world, and I never ever want to lose touch with them. Haven't yet.
The good thing is, your family is always your family, as long as you want them to be.
I don't want to move to Fargo or Nebraska or North Carolina or New Mexico. I hope we don't move any farther than Eugene for Kaden to do his PhD (we don't know ANYTHING about what might happen in the next couple of years, it's just theory). I just want to move home to Olympia.
My parents are moving to Corpus Christi, Texas, in a couple years. Then we'll be far away from them again, unless Kaden gets a job teaching at Texas A & M Corpus Christi, ha ha ha.
I was just talking to Cree about if Kaden does the Pacific Crest Trail after he graduates, it will take him 7 months, and I will move in with Cree & Kristina, because they'll own their own house by then.
Tomorrow is my 26th birthday!!!!!!!!
