Thoughts...


I'm sitting alone in my hotel room watching Cars.  Yup.  Disney movie.  Thinking about my little niece and nephew and how excited they would be to watch this and how Cooper would say "Oh! Look at THAT!"  I've only been at this "life on the road" business for a week and I've already come to some decisions.  I will always love traveling.  That's the reason I took this job in the first place.  I've gone places on my own before and I don't mind time to myself, but I never really realized how much of a people person I am.  Traveling is so much fun regardless, or it should be.  When you have someone to share it with, however, it is so so much better.  I had always thought of going to grad school somewhere far away, living in a different country, etc.  Now, I KNOW that I wouldn't do that unless I'm with someone.  I have no attachment to Minnesota whatsoever.  I get annoyed with the cold and the heat and I think there are many places that are more beautiful.  However, I can really see myself living there for the rest of my life (which I never could before) if my loved ones are there.  Home truly is where the heart is.  And my heart is always with my family and friends.   I miss you guys so much and while I am excited for the opportunities (and paycheck) of this job, most of me can't wait for the normal day to day life of MN with those I love.

  5. I'm a little jealous you get to travel like you do, but I'm sorry to hear that its a lonely venture. Best of luck in finding something you like sooner than later; try and have your next job be in the cities...
