As I walked through my house last night, doing my final check for anything that might have been left behind, I found myself a bit choked up. Not only have I lived in the same house my entire life, I've also owned it for the past three years. I've spent considerable time and money repairing this and that, painting nearly every surface, and just generally trying to make it my own. You'd
be hard pressed to find anything in the house that I didn't either install myself or repair in some way, shape, or form. This has created an even stronger emotional bond with me, above the fact that I was raised there. Sadly though, it was not meant to be, after the 24k that I got from my mothers life insurance was gone, I could no longer pay the mortgage. I am certainly going to miss having a place to call my own, somewhere I call the shots, my HOME.
I'm gonna miss my friends and family most of all. I've forged wonderful relationships with amazing people during my time in Newburgh. Holly and her wonderful magazine and shows, which helped me to get out of the house I spent too much time with and meet new people, Pratty, without whom there are days I wouldn't have made it through, nor would I be the person I am today (I love you Sarah, and forever will), Arielle and Rich, who have made the last 9 months or so some of the most fun I've had, and of course my family. My wonderfully loving, sarcastic and funny family.
I want to write more, but my flight is boarding in half an hour and I need to get through security. More to come...
Got through security with no problems, just waiting to board. I love everybody in NY and I'm going to miss you all terribly.
