Great Weekend with Old Friends

I moved down here to VA about 7 years ago (around Aug of 1999) and I saw it as a chance of starting a new kind of life, moving in to a career I had wanted to be in since high school, even though I earned a college degree in a totally different area. It was also a chance to explore my life in a different direction than it had been.

In many ways I'm glad I did it. I know I'm a different and better person for the experience. The one way that still makes me sad is the friends I left behind. I didn't think it would bother me as much as it did at first, and though I eventually got used to the change, it's never been something I completely accepted.

That's why I was glad to go up to Philly this past weekend and see some of those people that I was closest to and just hang out BSing, playing a game and just enjoying each other's company (at least I hope everyone was feeling the love).

I miss you guys every week, sometimes daily, but it's good to know that I can still come home from time to time.
