Ever since I made the decision to move, I've had many moments where I thought - am I really doing this? I must be crazy!! I think about all of the great things that were happening for me in Kansas City - working my way up the volunteer path with Relay For Life, a job with great co-workers that cannot be replaced, and most importantly - some of the most amazing friends a girl could ask for. I never felt the love from them more than I did on Friday night.
My co-worker, Janis, and her husband Matt, were so sweet and threw me a going away party at their house. So many people came to the party to show their support and say goodbye, and it was a great last night to spend in Kansas City! There were very few tears - mostly because when I felt them coming on, I would walk away and start a new conversation! :) But it really did make me feel like one of the luckiest people to have such great friends! And gave a good energy boost for the next morning, as my dad, sister and I packed up my house, emptied it out, and moved all of my stuff to Lincoln - where I'll spend a couple weeks hanging with the fam.
So again people ask, why would you leave?! I don't want to be someone who looks back at my life with regrets about what I could have done. You can make your life something great no matter where you are, and I'm sure that will happen in Denver as well. I guarantee there will be many more days where I get sad, miss everyone in KC, and question whether it was the right decision. But hopefully, the sadness will quickly fade as the new life begins.
On the drive to Lincoln I was listening to one of my favorite bands, Sugarland, and their song 'Settlin' came on. It is the theme song of my life right now and one line in particular sums up exactly how I feel: "Find what it means to be the girl, who changed her mind and changed the world".
