Moving away from family
Moving for the first time away from my family, but finally get to move in with my husband! I am moving from Cleveland (Mayfield), Ohio to Boca Raton, Florida. My husband found better job opportunities for himself and me being a hairstylist can find work anywhere. I come from a very big Italian family, we all see eachother at least once or twice a week. I have a sister and 2 lil neices and 2 lil nephews that I am very close with too. Any advice on how to adjust and getting used to being away from family?
Re: Moving away from family
I can tell you from experience that the first couple of days will be hard. I remember the day I packed the last box in my car and said bye to my parents I cried the whole way to our new home. Especially since my dad had tears in his eyes as I said see you later. That first week I made sure to go over plenty of times for dinner to see my parents and we spoke several times a day. After about two weeks I would say I was finally OK. But to this day I still make sure to have them come over for dinner once a week or vice versa. If I can't see them during the week I will normally go over on the weekends.
I hope everything goes OK with your move. Good Luck.
I did that about a year and a half ago, but I moved from Tallahassee to Miami, away from my parents, and away from my twin sister, who is my best friend ever. it was horrible. seriously.
where are you moving from/to?
just surround yourself with friends, go out, spend time with your husband, and get a cell phone plan with lots of minutes
it's ok to be sad, but don't let it run your life... it just makes things worse.
It is hard you just have to remember that you are now starting your own family and its just part of life that you have to make some sacrifices...
I remember in may when we got married, it was really to eat without all the noise, what I miss most is sunday morning breakfast with the family, but I go over almost everyday after work...the trick is communication and it'll feel like you're there....good luck!
