Where do I belong?

So this weekend it was my parent's 24th wedding anniversary. Still in love as ever! We went up to Torreon in Show Low. Super nice cabin right on a golf course. It was exactly what I needed. Escape the hot, hectic-ness known as 'The Valley'. This was my backyard for two nights....

For some reason, being submersed in nature really makes me think deeply. I was thinking about what I want out of life. What do I want to accomplish, achieve etc. What kind of life do I want my future children to have? Because every choice I make right now is shaping what my future will be. My mom was telling me alot about how it was being first married, having kids and whatnot. I'm sure it was on her mind since it was her anniversary weekend. So it got me thinking. I'm definitely not ready to be married and nowhere near close to that even happening. So where does that put me?

My mom tells me that I have always had a hard time dealing with change and transitions. I just finished school and quit my job. But I can't get my hair license until October. So I'm somewhat job-less(thankfully my parents can employ me for now!) And everyone else is in school and doing that fun stuff. I haven't known what to do with myself lately. SO I've been up in Globe working with my parents. Its weird coming back to a small town. You can't go ANYWHERE without at least 3 people recognizing you. Old friends want to come back into your life. Even old flames try to weasel their way in. I thought I would like being home for awhile because it would get me grounded and centered on what is most important to me. Instead it has really made me realize that I no longer belong here. I've moved on and this place has nothing to offer me anymore. But if I don't belong here, where do I then?

And then it hit me! Right here is where I belong. With these amazing people!
