If there's one thing I admire about my parents, it is that once they decide to do something they follow through until it's done. Both have been discussing the idea of moving back east to be closer to family, and to be in a place that doesn't feel so foreign to such right-coast-minded individuals. Recently my dad has been shopping around looking for a new challenge as a choir director--a full time job that he could focus all of his attention on. A few weeks ago he got an interview and an audition at a small church in Greenwood, South Carolina and found out yesterday that he got the job.
So what does it mean? It means my family is moving! Potentially within the next few weeks. No one is sure exactly what's happening, but my family is all picking up and moving back east. I'll obviously be finishing out my last year at CSUN, "I can't believe I'm saying this....but I'm staying in Korea!" (kudos if you get that). It's a weird thought, I have to admit. My family is going to be 3000 miles away, I mean I'm used to most of my family being so far away but I've been comfortable in the idea that my parents and sister were still just half a days drive away. I'll be fine, of course, I've been doing this whole college thing now for a couple of years and I'd like to think I've got a little bit of a handle on it....but there is an odd sinking feeling now, as if my safety net has been taken away.
But enough angst, this is an exiting time! My parents are moving back east and I couldn't happier for them--they've needed to get back to a place where they feel like they belong. Holiday's with the family, seeing their best friends more than once every four years, and snow. I know one thing, they finding their place has given me hope to find mine.
