God Bless This Broken Road.... Or Good Bye Chicago

Last night was amazing... Dancing on the packed dance floor... Throwing shots back with my best friends and basicly living it up with my gay boys... But then came the hard part.... Saying good bye...

Its hard to believe that this is where i ended up and even harder to believe that home is where i am going. I used to question where home was... But now i know that its in my heart, and regardless of whether i am here or there both places will always be home.

The reasons i came to chicago are so overshadowed by now by the people i have met, and mostly in the last year. I am thankful for my little man, and my Slinkster, and my P diddy and my two favorite bookworms, i am thankful for my concieted asshole and old roommate the dictator. I am even thankful for the asshat that led me to all of them....
Its funny how things work out, its funny how life takes turns we never imagined it taking... and how the journey is none the less the most beautiful thing... I am at the point where i cry when i travel familar roads here in chicago... but at the same time i can feel the sand at hidden beach under my toes...

And while perhaps i did have to fall to go home, i would never take back the last two years. I am going home a different woman than i was when i left, and for once in my life it is someone i am proud to be. Thank you Chicago, All of you ment something and i will never forget you and i will be back....

With That.... A special Shout out to Slinkster... I love you and nothing is going to change... stay away from blue liquor... and i'll see you later....

Rascal Flatts - Bless The Broken Road Lyrics

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
