Lately, I have suffered from the most extreme case of insomnia I have ever had in my life. I admit it is caffeine fueled and thus self induced but the blame cannot be solely placed on me. I blame it on my boyfriend,ahem excuse me fiance, and also I blame Ohio.
I am sure Ohio is an honorable state and I am sure that many upstanding people hail from Ohio. I however am not from Ohio. I am from California and furthermore, I am neither honorable or upstanding. If you had told me five years ago that I would one day leave the comfort and ease of Southern California for the frozen industrial north I would have laughed at you and said "Whatever, dude." Then I would have slipped my big black sunglasses on and drove to Disneyland oblivious to the possibility of anywhere other than So-Cal. But this is exactly what has happened. I am facing the impending doom of marriage and relocating to a place where I know no one and to top it all off it snows. I am terrified beyond comprehension.
Roughly six months ago my boyfriend, David, asked, "What do you think about Ohio?" I was sitting in the car watching him pour money into the car's gas tank. I said nothing because my heart had stopped. After I recovered I squeaked out," But we don't know anyone there." The company my boyfriend works for offered him a promotion to manage the Cleveland division and he took it. If that was the way it was going to be I decided we had to get married before we moved. I was sure as hell not going to move thousands of miles away from everything I have ever known without the law on my side and David legally bound to me.
So I am writing this blog as a diary of sorts to chronicle my adventure from being a small town girl from Southern California to being a snow shoveling Clevelandite...Clevelander...whatever. If would like to join me in my adventure check back here for updates. When I am feeling better about this whole Ohio thing I will write more about how all of this came to be right now I think I am going to get a cup of coffee and cry about leaving California.
