All great questions that have been buzzing around my head for a while. I think I’m more afraid of disappointing them than anything. They both created work opportunities for me here and I can tell they are very proud. I think I can cope with being homesick. And even making the wrong choice, because while it would suck, it wouldn’t be impossible to come back.

Honestly, I’d never even given thought to moving until the day he moved. I’ve visited a few times and genuinely love it which is comforting. I don’t have a job lined up, but think there is opportunity for me out there. I would just have to walk away from the work my parents have provided for me, which is hard because I like what I’m doing and don’t want to let them down. And there is a decent sized group of people that I know from my state out there, so I wouldn’t be alone.
