Farewell

As many of you know by now in just a few short days I'll be moving to Detroit, Michigan. My boyfriend & I decided to take a huge step in our relationship by moving in together. We'll no longer be 519 miles apart. I can finally wake up everyday to my other half. Long distance can be very hard at times & very lonely. But if you find the right person like I have it makes it all worth it. It's funny how life works out sometimes & how you meet someone. We've driven to each other more than were ever flown to see each other. Road trips just seem to be our thing. More time spent together right? Looking forward to not having to drive through Ohio anymore though because the endless construction/traffic drives us insane. I've been counting down the days before I leave. Trying to say goodbyes for now to my friends & finishing packing. The thing about moving is & actually leaving is you find out who truly is a friend & if they care about you. I've had a few people I thought who care I'm leaving but haven't made an effort to reach out to see me one last time. This is my last week in Virginia & I have about 4 days till I'm gone. Over the weekend I threw a going away party just to get everyone together one last time. I hosted it at my parents house in the country. My parent surprised me by picking up my great grandma & flying out my grandma. That was a wonderful surprise & made me truly happy. It was great because my boyfriend got to meet them too. I had a lot of really close people join me at my party. Thank you again to those who took the time to wish me the best & say goodbye to me in person. Really means a lot to me. Though it's more of a see you later than goodbye since I'll be home for holidays every now and then. I'm really excited to move somewhere new and start in a fresh city. When I tell most people I'm moving to Detroit they think it's this dangerous crime ridden place when really it's not like that at all. Sure it may have some crime but the city is really new & upcoming. It honestly kind of reminds me of Richmond. It's super hipster in a sense. But it's beautiful & there's a lot of history. The people are very kind there too & I can't wait to call it home. I've never really left "home" before so it'll be a new experience for me. I know I'll really miss my family and friends but love conquers all. I'm glad I have such a huge support team in my new future. I love everyone for wanting what will make me happiest. Cheers to new adventures, love & happiness. 

Remember this isn't goodbye but see you later.
