California or bust...!

artemis42Henri has indeed gotten into Stanford, which is awesome, and it seems that we will be heading out to the west coast in the fall. Just enough time for me to get everything moved in here, organized, sorted through, and then repacked. :P
I'll admit that I'm a little apprehensive about being so far away from my family, and of course when they hear this, they tell me I'm very sweet, but to go and not worry about it. They are, of course, perfectly correct, I do need to move forward with my life instead of continuing to stagnate and dig myself a deeper and deeper hole. This is a pretty drastic change, though. Even going to college was just an hour and a half away.. far enough to be on my own, and still close enough to visit on the weekends and see my friends. I know that it's not going to be forever, and hopefully we'll be back in New England at some point. I'd ideally want to be back near my own mommy before I have any children. *grin* The internet is a wonderful tool for keeping in touch, and who knows, maybe people will come out to visit us. My universe of beloveds won't disappear, it will just be a lot farther away.
Folks at the co-op keep telling me that I'll love it out there, that the bay area is nowhere near as hideous as southern CA, but that it's horribly expensive. Ecch. Being broke now, this doesn't exactly fill me with joy, but I'm sure there's a co-op somewhere nearby where we'll be, or something else I can do for work that I won't detest utterly, and the search begins over the summer. *fingers crossed*
No matter what, I'll be there with my beloved Usul, and that sort of covers over all my worries with peace. I know we'll find cool people to hang out with, that we'll eventually find a place we can afford, and I'll probably fall in love with the ocean all over again. I'm so glad for the trust I have in him, that he can make something as terrifying to me as moving halfway across the country seem like it will go just fine. And deep down, I know it will, and I have no doubts about joining him in this adventure.
My thanks to Morgan for coming up to help me get more stuff moved and packed up, as I've been a bit too overwhelmed to do it all myself. We'll get most of the rest of it on Saturday, and then I can get some more cleaning done there next week.
Friday night finds me here after work, unfortunately I won't be back early enough to join people for Mirrormask, (*pout*) but I'll get some time to hang out with J and get more cleaning done in my room, and that is a goodness.
I'm going to get some more stuff unpacked and reorganized, and then go to sleep. My back has been killing me all day, and I'll be glad to let it rest.
Later.
-Me.
