move back to my hometown

... in just 10 days it’ll be true! Yeeeay! :D

we already have our apartment now, it’s getting closer and closer every day!

in one year, when I’m finished with my school (university), me and my boyfriend (and the cat) can move back to my hometown called Linköping!

We actually made the move in January 06. It has been wonderful but certainly not easy. We stayed with my parents for about 5 months until we found a house and it was renovated. The house is right next door to my parents, which is so great. We’ve grown so close and they get to see the kids every day. The hard part has been starting over financially. My husband and I both left great jobs. I have a job now but it is mind numbingly boring, but the benefits are so great I’m hesitant to leave it. I guess that will be the next “thing” I do: get a job/career that I love. Overall, it has been totally worth it. I feel like that hole that’s been in my heart for 17 years is slowly healing.

I can NOT wait till me and my husband leaves Kansas for my hometown in Northern Norway. We will be so much happier!

There were too many bad memories there. I couldn’t stay for very long. I havd to move after only a year, the memories were too much for me and my new husband.

I miss my family and I miss my friends. I miss the small town environment and I miss the clean air. You can really see the stars!!

I moved back to Ipswich last August. I don’t know how long we’re going to stay here for, but for the moment it’s comforting to be back and it feels like it’s one of those things I ‘just had to do’. A very different view from eight years ago when I couldn’t move away fast enough!

I’m actually moving back to Texas on Monday. A lot of the reason that this move didn’t work for me was because I felt as if I didn’t have viable places to meet people and make friends. So much of this stay here, I felt isolated.

Maybe I’m just not one of those traveling fools that can make it work anywhere. I like my hometown. People know me, I know people. I know where to find the cheapest gas, and the best place for Menudo, and where to go when I don’t want to be found. Also, there is something to be said about having a wonderful family and great friends.

So, back I go.

I LOVED living in San Francisco for 10 years. I miss it every day!

but Connecticut offers family, better schools for our kids, houses that are less expensive than SF, anyway, and health insurance coverage for the whole family from my husband’s job.

For lots of reasons, it was the right thing to do. But it’s still difficult.
