Jersey Girl

For a majority of my life I lived in New Jersey. I never really thought much of it. Just living my life, in a place that I knew home was. It's not until you get older that you realize how much your hometown actually means to you. You might not even realize it, but even though you might grow sick of it.. at one point you're going to wish you went back there at some point again.

Ever since Hurricane Sandy hit us, I believe that that experience just showed how much of a family everyone in Jersey is. We all stuck together and got each other through it like a real family does. Lately, I've been thinking about going to a school that is out of state, but then I realize what I am leaving behind. It's where the heart and if I left it I know I would get extremely homesick. It's all I've ever known. I mean don't get me wrong, I would love to explore and travel..but I want to do it with the people that I love and care about. I want to do it with my family, not people in college. I am a huge family person and I just don't see myself leaving them unless certain circumstances were to change.

When I am older and have a family, my boyfriend wants to stay in Jersey to be near his family, but I want to bring my family somewhere else so they can go to Jersey as a vacation spot instead. I either want to live in Florida or somewhere southern so they can be cute little southern bells. Haha that'd be so cute since he is a country boy, but I don't actually think that's going to happen. We'll just have to see what happens.

I love everything about Jersey. Especially the Jersey Shore.. and no I am not talking about the show.. I am talking about the legitimate place. Being there just feels like home and when you walk on the boardwalk or just sit on the beach and listen to happiness all around, it feels like you're just having one big family reunion with people you never even met before. But when you are there, you are home. I love where I live and I will never take it for granted. Although it is not the cheapest place to live.. it's still one of the greatest place to live. I love the East Coast and I always want to stay here for the rest of my life. Even though some people can be total douchebags.. they're still loved here. LOL YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE ;)

We are Jersey Strong & we will get through anything and as a family!
