Today is my last full day in El Paso. I am always excited to move no matter where we are living at the time, but this time it is at a whole new level. Even when I am excited to move I am usually a little sad to be leaving something behind, whether it be friends or memories. I just don't have that here. I haven't attached to anything here. I really feel like I have been in a kind of prison over the past year. I know that sounds horrible, but that is really how I feel. I have found no redeeming qualities to this city at all. The school system is horrible, the people are rude and not very welcoming (and have NO meaning of personal space which drives me insane), not to mention you really do feel like you are in a whole other country since I am pretty sure that English is not most peoples first language. We just didn't bond. Maybe if I would have had a house that I liked...nope not that. I have cursed these "school" tile floors more times then you could even imagine. I am just ready to break free. I will be saying Adios to El Paso as my plane takes off in the morning and not looking back.
Now of course I am VERY excited to be moving to the DC area. I am not only excited to be moving the a city that has nice stuff and a ton of stuff to do, but more then that I can't wait to be near my friends and family. I love the fact that I am not even there yet and I already have things planned. It will be so great for the kids to have their friends back and to be near their cousins. This is such a great move for us and I am going to be baking LOTS of stuff for all the people who made it possible for us to leave El Paso a year early. I hope they like sweets:)
So ADIOS El Paso! I would say it has been nice knowing you, but it hasn't!
