I haven't written in almost a month. I guess I'm not sure where to take this blog. I have made some big decisions with my life since just last month. I've lived in San Francisco now for a little over 5 years. I originally came here for graduate school--to study counseling psychology and drama therapy. There are only two grad programs in drama therapy in the U.S. One is in NY-where I am from and was living before I moved out here. The other one is here, in San Francisco. I finished grad school three years ago. Originally, I was planning on moving right back, and I'm still here. I didn't feel ready to move back yet--I haven't felt that it was time until....

My nephew (May 2008) and niece (December 2009) were born.

I always knew I would eventually move back to NY, and I also never expected to stay here as long as I have, but it's been great--experiencing a new city, having to meet new friends, be on my own more than I ever have before (most of my family is back in NY)-it has been-please excuse the overused word--but it HAS been a journey. I've been thinking more and more about moving back east over the last 1-2 years, and feeling that it is nearing that time more recently. So, in about 6 months I will move back to New York.
