The CK Daily – Making Adjustments
Good Morning and Happy Friday Everyone!
In December, I moved across the country from Atlanta, Ga to Rapid City, SD. I have never lived so far away from home, so this was a completely new experience for me. My fiancé signed a contract to play football for a local arena team so he and I packed everything we could in my little Honda civic and moved.
I was a little anxious because I didn’t know what to expect. I knew this would be a different experience, but I also knew I had some things that I wanted to accomplish that required separation from friends, family, and the fast life in Atlanta. When I got here, I had to make so many adjustments. I had to adjust to the weather (there was actually a blizzard the day we arrived), the time difference, and just being in a new location overall. It took a while but I think I am finally adapting to my new environment.
Although I had a few challenges, I am eternally grateful that we made it here safely and are adapting just fine. I am thankful for the move; it has helped me increase my focus in certain areas of my life and establish a balanced routine. I miss home and can’t wait to get back to visit but, South Dakota is starting to look like a second home for me.
