This will be a short entry in comparison to how amazing the trip was! Partially because I have written about it elsewhere, and partially because it is hard to articulate just how awesome I feel with Him. Some stuff is better left between us love birds.
It is amazing how comfortable I feel with Him and how easy it was to camp and travel together. It was like we had been together for years. We did not even bicker setting up a tent with no directions! He took me to see the Space Needle, despite hating driving in Seattle. He did this just because he loves me. I met his oldest friend and saw the town he grew up in. We drove to the Oregon coast and had many romantic beach walks. We spent days in Northern California playing house, plus I met his dad. Then we drove back to Colorado. I have written so much about my feelings on this trip, but they are for his eyes only. I will say that after spending so much time together, I am 100% sure that this move is the right choice, and I cannot wait to start our l I finally told my mom, step-dad and little brother that I am moving to Alaska. I would of preferred to do this after the road trip, but then they would have barely any notice.
There were tears, questions, gin. My mom was in shock the first conversation we had. No one really understands. I want to just tell them I am doing this because I am madly in love with Him, but until our road trip, until we have our first kiss, I feel a bit weird expressing these feelings to my family. I feel weird telling them I am moving for a guy, even though I mostly am. The next day I had lunch with just my mom. She wanted to know why I would choose to move to Alaska, to the middle of nowhere. I tried to explain what draws me to village life. I thought that was the right move. I may have been wrong. Tonight, during my grandma's birthday dinner, I was ambushed by my family. They feel I am making a rash, manic decision and not thinking things through. I guess it is hard to explain that I have been planning this for months. It is not just something I decided to do last week. i have prayed about it, wrote about it, talked to my friends about it, did research. I am following my heart, but I am not jumping blindly into this. My mom wants to know that I have deep feelings. I cannot even describe how I feel to my mom. It is so intimate. And insane. I know that this move makes no sense to anyone but us. I am okay with that. I am happy my brother seems supportive. I just hope that soon enough my family accepts my choice and will be happy for me. I cannot wait to start my new Alaskan life with the love of my life. |
