Five years ago today I moved to Michigan. Looking back I can still say that leaving my family in NC was one of the, if not THE, hardest thing I have ever done - it took me months to really move past it. I resented Michigan and decided that I would hate it here. And that's exactly what I did for a very long time and then I decided that I needed to let it go and learn to accept it. I have done just that and whereas I can say that I still don't feel Michigan is my home, I have definitely come to accept it as the place I live and am raising our family...for now anyways! I always find myself holding out and wishing that we will one day move back East.
But for now...I moved to Michigan five years ago and I haven't been warm since!!!
