Part of my plan is to end up back East. Had been planning on my zip code changing within the next year(ish). Have done all the beginning to make a change steps one does: told people, pulled up apartment websites, put it in the back of my mind. I won't seriously start to make concrete decisions till after I get back from the shore, in August. Even so - plan, I have one. MI -> East.
And then. I talked to one of my best friends N who I've been superstucklikegluebff's with for nigh on 15 years. Since graduating high school (12 years next month holy crap) we haven't lived in the same place but both of our overarching plans had us returning to our east coast roots. And while I was on the phone with him, it comes up that he's thinking of making a change himself. Except his would be TX -> MI. And now my path suddenly looks like MI -~~~~^<MI? I wouldn't stay JUST because he's considering moving here but a big part of my leaving is to be nearer to family, friends and the thought of being able to see him weekly again makes me all atwitter.
His impending change is also in the nascent stage so who knows what, if anything, will happen.
Maybe I'll just stay long enough for him to get here and then drag him behind me all the way down I-76.
