WV girl turns Californian!

I can't believe it's been almost 3 weeks since my last entry! Man, does time fly!

I'm right smack in the middle of my third trip back to WV and I gotta say, I'm ready to be back in San Jose, with Pete. I left to fly East, literally, the day after we finally got everything moved from the apartment to the house. And I felt like a giant heel for leaving Pete to have to straighten up the mess. Honestly :).

This trip has really been the best yet, which is to be expected, really. I mean, it takes time to get used to the kind of arrangement I have. The travel is exhausting. It sounds pretty glamorous until you're actually on the plane for 4 1/2 hours at a time and racing through airports to make the next flight. But I'm certainly not complaining. I'm very blessed to be able to work from home and come back to do office work every couple of weeks. Soon, I will probably be easing away from being in WV quite so much. I will miss my family, but sometimes I question if they will miss me. This trip, friends who I've not seen in years have been more interested in getting together and spending time with me than anyone else. And I'm very thankful for this, as I don't have many great friends and the time spent with them is relaxing and takes my mind off of other stresses.
