New Year's Day we had to say goodbye to the fam-bamily. We got up early so we could go to breakfast before our flight. That's why everyone looks so tired. This was actually the first year in a while that I've not felt any sort of desire to go back to my own life. Usually by the end of Christmas vacation I'm ready to go back to school and get back on my own schedule, but this year... I did not want to leave to comfort of being with parents.
Parents are nice because when you're with them, they're in charge, they make the big decisions, they help pay for things, they take care of you. But now I'm a grown up. I have to be in charge, make the big decisions, pay for everything, and take care of myself and Dan the man. I feel that so much more now that I'm married and have a real job. I don't get to drop out if I don't like it, like I can with school classes or an internship. If it's hard, I have to figure out how to deal with it and just quitting isn't really an option.
So I was a bit sad to say goodbye and have to once again go back to being the grown up.
The mama. Dan was "putting on his jacket."
Tender times.
But we're back in NYC and it's good... well freezing is the more accurate term but whatever. We both go back to work tomorrow and that's the way the cookie crumbles!
