I'm moving to Colorado tomorrow. I've been packing for weeks. Today, Mr. J and some of our family are loading up a moving truck (while I go to my last day of work) and tomorrow we drive to Denver.
While my move isn't a secret, of any sort, a lot of people keep acting surprised by this move. Not sure why. I've been posting to Facebook about it for almost 2 months. and I told most people directly, just so they wouldn't be surprised. The laid plans of Jane's and men...
People have been e-mailing/texting/calling me, panicked, about my move. "Why?" everyone wants to know. Everyone is awfully inquisitive suddenly. "Why are you moving?"
As much as I've heard that question this past week, I would have hoped that I would have a satisfying answer. None of the ones I've given seem to sate any one's need for closure.
Why are you moving?
Well, I've always wanted to move away from New Mexico, go some where I haven't lived before. This seemed like a good time in my life.
Why?
Well, I'm not cemented in my current job, our townhouse's lease is up, and Mr. J really misses his family. (His entire family makes up 43% of Colorado's population. I checked the numbers. Twice.)
Why?
Um... Because that's how human emotions work? Ask Mr. J.
Why are you moving?
To be closer to Mr. J's family and start a life up there. They have a ton of schools up there too. I might enroll after we get settled.
Why are you moving now?
Because if we don't go now, WHEN WILL WE?
Why are you moving?
FUCK! For someone who hasn't see me in person for over a decade, you sure seem interested in my business!
Why are you moving?
Why not?
- Ha! Do you have an answer? Not so easy, is it?
-----------------
There you have it, distant family members and ex-coworkers; my reasons for moving. The bitchy part of me would have said I was moving to get away from you. But that would have been rude, and not even remotely accurate. Distant family members - you live in far away states. Ex-coworkers - seriously, have we hung out even once since we stopped working together? I'm already away from you.
