The Best of Both Worlds

I feel so lucky, it’s indescribable!

This weekend I spent three whole days (Thanks MLK for an extra long weekend!) in Pittsburgh with Justin. It was three of the best days we’ve had in a really long time. We did nothing but snuggle and enjoy each other’s company. We talked about everything we had missed in each other’s lives through our first week apart. Having two hours between us is forcing us to communicate better and it’s fabulous.

Last night I spent three hours with my aunt and uncle, helping him put music on his blackberry. It’s been forever since I’ve got to spend quality time with any of my family. While living in Pittsburgh, the only time I really got to see anyone was during holidays, which get so crazy with us that it doesn’t really count. We talked all about the life-altering changes I’ve been going through these past two weeks. It felt good to talk to an unbiased party about how I really feel about everything. It’s hard, because my mom’s just happy I’m home, and Justin is sad that I left, so I feel like maybe I edit what I’m saying when I talk to them. My aunt and uncle are amazing, and let me just say what’s really on my mind. It means the world to me.

I couldn’t be happier with my decision right now. With Pittsburgh only a car ride away, and my family a few blocks down the road, I feel like I’m finally right where I’m meant to be. Once Justin gets a job and makes the move up here with me, and I get my own place out of my mom’s house, I think life will have finally reached that point where everything just makes sense. It’s been such a long time since I felt any sort of peace and it’s a feeling I’m glad to have back.
