Leaving Town

The next chapter of my life begins this monday; I'm moving to the great elsewhere.

I'll actually be living at a hotel in Maryland until I move into a permanent location closer to the end of the month, so it will essentially take me a little while before I am in fully moved in. Once I'm all settled, I expect some visitors!

I've been meeting up with friends, family, and former coworkers over the last two weeks to catch up over lunch or dinner, hang out during a party or a concert, or just reminisce and chill. My mom calls it meeting up to "say goodbye" and my dad calls it "getting closure" on this stage of my life. But I'd like to think that's not the case. I'd like to think that, although I'm entering the full-time workforce and ultimately moving two hours away, my friends and family will remain my constant. As I've said plenty of times before, this doesn't change the fact that you'll still see plenty of me.

I truly enjoyed traveling all over the state (I've actually put 2,000 miles on my new car in less than a month!) to spend time with all of you. I've had the priviledge of hearing or reading the kindest words from many of you over the last two weeks, and for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart (that yearbook I received at Ramapo is honestly my most prized possession because of everything it represents). I promise you that not a day will go by that I won't be thinking of you, and not a day will go by that I won't be looking forward to the day we meet again.

Bring it on, Maryland.
