I Think I'll Go To Boston...

I have decided to relocate from Fountain Hills, Arizona to Boston, Massachusetts.


I guess I'll just tell you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Montauk, NY. I have 2 sisters; Melanie and Mary. My parents separated when I was 2 years old, my mom moving to California and my dad staying in New York. I continued to live in Montauk until I graduated from 8th grade. My sister Melanie went off to Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts and with my dad being a commercial fisherman I was left at home a lot. Melanie and I are very close, and we have been our whole lives. With her leaving for college in a way I felt "empty-nest syndrome".  That was when I decided to from Montauk to Arizona with my Mom and my sister Mary. My dad was very upset with my decision but I just felt like I wanted to experience my life from a new and different perspective. With that being said, I started Fountain Hills High School in August for my freshman year. Immediately I got a job at Dj's Bagel Cafe to help my mom with bills and expenses. Because of this I felt like I was forced to grow up very fast and take on a lot of responsibility at a young age.


The beginning of junior year I met Shelby. Shelby and I started dating November 14,2009. Having family issues with my mom I moved in with Shelby and his family when I was 15 years old. Shelby and I dated for 2 and 1/2 years and he recently ended it, wanting to see other people and just have fun in college. I took the break up pretty bad, having to move out on my own in a 1 bedroom apartment. During this break up, Melanie had offered to let me be one of her roommates in Boston; however, I stayed in Fountain Hills hoping that Shelby and I would work everything out and get back together. As the months passed, and my lease was coming to an end, I tried to look at the bigger picture. Shelby wanted to move on, and it was time I moved on too. I called Melanie and told her I was interested in moving to Boston and going to college in that area. Immediately we started doing research and I decided I needed to get out of Fountain Hills and move to Boston as soon as I could.


So that brings me to where I am now. I told Dj's I'd be leaving on June 20th which is when my dad and his girlfriend Lisa will fly to Phoenix airport and we will drive across country in my 2001 Honda Civic. We will make many stops along the way which will lead us to Boston. After Boston, I will go to my dad's house in Montauk, NY for the 4th of July weekend. This is when my blog comes in. I will document my entire trip and you can follow along! How exciting.
