It’s weird to think that I’ve gone to Washington and back again already. The anticipation of my visit was overwhelming…but now it’s already passed. Somehow I was just thinking, dreaming that coming home would be the same as when I had left it only 4 months ago…but it wasn’t. Not to say that that is a bad thing, it was just different.
Why did I expect it to be the same? Why did I try to make it the same? Although it has only been 4 months that have passed at time it seems as if it’s been years. I am no longer the college kid living at home and working at Starbucks, I am an adult, with a career, making my own way. Why is that so hard to accept and understand?
Although I express such confusion of my current state of mind, that does not take away from the fact that I did enjoy my stay. It was wonderful getting to see my family again, and those certain friends that although our lives have changed, have not forgotten about me.
My last night in Washington was by far my most favorite nights I spent there. Sure I’m 23, but who says I can’t spend the evening laying in bed between my dad and step mom eating junk food and watching movies?
I took picture during my visit back home to Washington, but I will have to upload them later…my Internet right now isn’t the best to upload. Which leads me to one new years resolution I’ve made….TAKE MORE PICTURES :) AND post them. Thank you to everyone who made my trip to Washington enjoyable (My family, close friends and Cohort!)
