Schmoogie moved to Colorado yesterday. I'm a little sad...well, a lot sad. Much more than I expected to be. I couldn't be more excited for her and the life she's about to begin, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel like a part of me has disappeared.
I have to remember that she lived in Costa Rica for a semester, and we probably talked more then than we ever have (sorry about that phone bill, Pop!)...but that was temporary, and I knew it.
Now, instead of just being down the road a bit, she's down a much longer road, and going through Kansas. Yuck (and yikes).
She's with an amazing guy, T. They couldn't be cuter together.
I know she's happy. And I've never wanted anything less than that for Schmoogie. She deserves it. But it's hard to think about her starting a new life, entering a new world, and not being part of it.
It's making me realize how STL-bound I am. I love it here. LOVE. This is my home, and it's where I want to live and raise a family. But it's not anything new. It's certainly not exciting. Emotionally, I can't figure out if I'm jealous, or excited, or regretful, or what, really. I know this is where I belong, but sometimes I wish I'd taken advantage - or sought out more - of the opportunities out there.
More than anything, though, I just miss my seester.

I know how hard it is to live a long way from your siblings. It's good that you can be happy for her though. Just think how awesome visits will be!
Holy crap I know your sister! We worked a StudioB together not to long ago. She was super excited about moving. Super sweet girl!!
