Why DC?

Undoubtedly the one question I'm asked over and over again, is "Why DC?"

I grew up in Florida.

I spent 22ish years of my life there before deciding I'd had enough.

A lot of that decision was due to my ex boyf.

I couldn't stand to be in that town anymore and deal with all of it.

I needed a change. Badly.

I had considered Phoenix where a good girl friend of mine was living.

I also had a good girl friend in DC, with a soon to be opening room.

DC won.

I had visited before and loved the history of it all.

Loved the city vibe.

Loved having public transportation.

Sounds crazy, but it's so nice.

So, I packed my car with whatever I could fit and left with hardly any money to my name.

I wanted to get out, I wanted a change, I wanted to start over.

So I did.

Little did I know it wouldn't last long since I'd find myself married 6 months later.

When my marriage went to hell, I knew I had to get back.

So, why?

I truly feel alive here.

I find myself overwhelmed with the notion of attempting to choose what to do with my time because there's always something going on.

I have always been a political girl, though I try to keep it out of my blogging life for obvious reasons.

I feel led to serve the military community.

This is the place to be for all of that.
DC is also an amazing place to raise a family.
If God ever blesses me with a child, I want to raise them here.

The best part about it, is God made it happen for me.

He opened doors for me to get back here, only re-affirming this is where I'm meant to be.

I feel this is truly where I'm meant to fulfill my life mission.

People look at me like I'm crazy when I say I left Florida for DC.

They think I'm insane when I say I'm seriously never leaving.

Never say never but...never.
