I am home.

Well, I'm back to Fargo, unfortunately... =[

I was just on a nice little trip to the East Coast. It was all my uncle Bob's idea. He wanted me to experience the East Coast and spend more time with my East Coast family.

My dad is originally from a town in New Jersey. He met my mother in the '80s through their jobs. Eventually she moved to NJ from ND and they got married. They moved to Fargo to raise me. Anyway.

I spent most of my time in Philadelphia and New Jersey, but I also spent time in New York, Washington D.C., and Delaware.

I hadn't seen some of my relatives on my dad's side in seriously TEN years. It was kind of cool. Actually, I hadn't seen ANY of them in at least ten years. The only one I'd seen more recently was my uncle Bob. He visited Fargo two summers ago. So, really, I hadn't seen two aunts and their husbands, many cousins, and my uncle's partner (Jay) in ten years. I also met two family members for the first time.

I really liked staying with Bob and Jay. They're both really funny, interesting, and knowledgeable. They treat me as an equal instead of as their niece. They are just a lot of fun. I remember this one night I was walking around a part of Philadelphia with them, and Jay was telling me a little something about nearly every building we passed. It was just really interesting. He works at U Penn, so we walked and drove around the campus... It's so gorgeous and HUGE.

I hadn't been to the East Coast in so long.
It was really neat getting a real taste of Philadelphia.
I'm so so SO ready to move there...honestly.
Fargo is a nice city and all, it really is...I'm just really sick of it.
I can't wait to move. I'm doing it. F0 real. I just don't know when.
My parents actually want to move back to NJ after I graduate.

I just love the East Coast.
I could never live in New York, but I could easily live in Philadelphia. I love it. It's so neat. There's so much history there... and there's so much to do.

I want to go back NOW! x]
