I absolutely love living in Colorado. I love the people, the climate, the environment... I love most things about it. However, the fact that over 3 years later, I still miss home, surprises me. I remember growing up, hating my town, where I lived etc, but now I miss so many things about it.
For quite some time I did not see myself moving back east. I have worked so incredibly hard over the past three years to establish myself and make connections that I really do not want to give that up. Also, Career & Technical Education is much more valued in CO than NY. As that is my career path that also has a profound impact on my decision.
While my family can get under my skin very easily, I miss them. The perfect solution would be for them to move to CO. However, that is not going to happen. I feel like I am missing out on key moments in the lives of my little sister, nieces etc. I hate that I cannot just drive home for birthday celebrations, holidays, and special occasions.
I can only get home a few times a year and for a very short period. I will be going back to NY to visit from July 14th-28th. I am so excited to see my family, old friends, spend time on the boat, go to the races, eat hard rolls, and maybe even go fishing.
Moving away was good for me. It taught me independence and also strengthened my relationship with my parents. I wish I could have my cake and eat it too. Deciding to say in CO or move to NY will be tough. Luckily, I have almost a year to figure that out!
Until the next blog....
Peace, Love & Apple Pie-
Ryan
