NEWS! as i mentioned in my previous post, my boyfriend was interviewing for a job in michigan. well, they liked him enough to invite him for a second interview. he has asked me to come with him, to check out the area and see if it is somewhere i could potentially see myself living one day. my parents, particularly my father, are opposed to the idea of me going. it's an important decision not to be taken lightly. after all, i am in my first month at my new job. i was extremely apprehensive at the idea of having to ask for time off so soon, particularly if he does get the offer and accepts because that would mean future trips to michigan, for which i would need time off from work. so that was the compromise: i would leave later on friday so that i would not have to use a whole day and will return on the evening flight on sunday, to give me almost two whole days up there to explore and see what the area is like.
the decision was heavy because i kept asking him what would happen if i didn't go up with him for the interview. his response was that it would make the decision harder for him in that he wouldn't want to accept the job when i'd never been there. ..even though i told him that my feelings for him were not based on geography. when you love someone, you love the person not where they live (although that can sometimes be a huge bonus depending on the location). he said if i didn't go, he would consider not taking the job. which is a huge incentive not to go; however, i would feel guilty for him to give up such an awesome opportunity. it's romantic that he would consider not going because of me. for that reason, how could i not go? it's not like if he got the job and moved that i would all of a sudden just move to michigan. that's not my style. i would never move anywhere for a guy unless we were engaged and/or married. so, if how i feel is legit, then potentially, he is THE one. i can totally see it.
so, next friday is the day. i'll leave work a couple hours early then fly up to detroit, then onto the final destination.

i hope it's worth it.
