I've made up my mind. I'm moving to Arlington....in a year.
Everyone keeps hassling me on moving out and doing this and that but I don't want to. Everyone keeps saying that I'm stupid for staying at home or I need to move out now because I'll never grow up but something inside of me keeps saying nooooo wait it out. Moving in with friends would be fun but I know I would get frustrated just like I did at school. I lived with 6 of my closest friends and by the end of the semester I could only deal with 2. I don't want to ruin that.
I know there's going to be a lot of changes when I move but I have a year to sort those out.
It's a good and bad thing when your parents pay for everything. I don't pay rent, I don't pay my phone bill, I don't pay my car insurance....but now I'm going to start. I start full time at the lawfirm TOMORROW and I'm going to take these next few months to find out where my finances fall.
I'm also getting a new car. I was dead set on the Ford Escape but after much searching my dad and I think the THE JUKE is the best fit for me. It's Nissan's SUV that comes out in August. I can't wait! I'll have a reliable car...more room...and more space for moving and roadtrips to visit friends.
Even though I'll be at home for 1 more year I think I can do that.
If Fred and I have made it this long long distance I think we can do it.
I'm so happy that he's been supportive in my decisions and has never once made me feel forced into moving to Arlington. I want to. I love it up there and I love the friends I've made. Plus I think it's the next big step in Fred and I's relationship. I need to be closer to him. I miss him. I miss him when I'm in Richmond. I miss him when I'm around other couples and he's not there. I miss him being a part of my everyday life. We were together every single day at Bridgewater and sometimes it can be very frustrating seeing him every weekend or every other weekend.
I hope all goes as planned.
I hope I find a good job and I hope I can make it on my own.
I hope nobody makes me feel bad anymore for making this decision. It's what I want. I'm tired of people questioning my decisions.
