It's way past my bedtime but I cannot sleep. Perhaps its because I started reading The Night Circus and I cannot stop reading it and then when I do I wonder what's going to happen next. For those of you looking for a book to read I highly recommend it.
Moving on.
Its been a year since I moved 3,000 miles across the country from everyone and everything I know and love. It's been a hard year -I'd be lying if I said its been rainbows and sunshine-especially since we live in Seattle and rain and clouds are more of our weather patterns. With that being said for the first time since I first moved here- I miss home. I've been catching up with friends from home. I miss their friendship and catching up with them at a favorite restaurant or bar. I miss my mom whom I've become increasingly close with other the past few years, even though she gives me constant guilt trips. I miss my town. I miss my beach. It's official I'm homesick. The weird thing is that it just started today on my way home while sitting in traffic. Ashley and I were texting our normal rambles about our day and she mentioned another mutual friend who I haven't talked to in a while. I texted him and he mentioned he just thought of me too :( I caught up with my old boss this week and it was like I never left.
I do not regret moving here but tonight my heart is in CT.
Hi, I have been so surprised, reading the various posts on the challenge, how many people in the US move a long way around the country. Three thousand miles seems such a huge distance. It must be difficult at times to be that far away from people you know and love. I hope you have a good day.
ReplyDeleteHey Rachel-
DeleteThanks for the commment! Yeah it is, I think some days are better then others :)
Have a great weekend!
Hi. I'm also currently reading the Night Circus (as part of an online book club - fantasy-faction.com). And I have the same feeling about not wanting to put it down. Are you going to post a review or thoughts on the book once you are finished? I would love to read it!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! How far are you? I'm only about halfway thru but I just started it a few days ago.
Deletei just finished 13 reasons why which was another book I read in a few days- those are always the best!
I loved the Night Circus. It definitely game me a book hangover! If you are into reading, you should join this weekly book chat that I participate in every week. You can find the details here http://sweet-green-tangerine.blogspot.com/p/thebookchat.html
