Technically, the big changes started last year in June. I was living with my boyfriend and his family but I was a little homesick (for Florida). We were in the process of leaving Wisconsin. However, he gave me the option to go to Florida to be with my family for a few months and then meet him in Puerto Rico when they got settled. He ended up being in Wisconsin longer than expected and I ended up wanting to spend more time with my family, especially for the holidays. We kept in touch everyday through phone, FB, text and skype. In February, I was ready to leave my family and go back to my future family.
I lived in Puerto Rico from February til May. Sometime in April, we all got the itch to leave la isla. For a short time, it looked like we were headed back to my home state (FL) but ultimately we ended up back in my boyfriend's home state (WI).
now it's time to get things on track. We're looking for work and hoping to save up enough to get on our feet and get our own place. Things will be rough but at the end, I'll look back and all the rough times will just be a memory.
