Missing Pittsburgh

Dare I say that moving to Baltimore has caused me to miss Pittsburgh? It was just getting good there, spring was in full swing, I had finally come to terms (kind of) with driving in the crazy city, and life was good. I really miss the familiarity of the city and the comforts of living in my own home. It is a hard transition to move and it would have been a million times easier to just sit back and relax over the summer while Daniel worked for CERT and brought home the bacon. Nothing makes sense about our move to Baltimore this summer except the fact that I think it will be a better work experience for Daniel. Other than that we are making less money and spending more money, we are away from doctors, we are living in a room that belongs to someone else, there are bugs and draining issues, electrical outlet scares, strange neighbors, unfamiliar surroundings. Transitions are hard and this one has been especially tough for me. I am counting down the days when we return to our normal, beautiful, blessed lives back in Pittsburgh and banking on the fact that we will never have to do something like this again. And even though the situation is less than ideal I can’t help but think that working in MD is really the best option and our current sacrifice for this opportunity will prove to be worth it in some way or another.
