A major event in my life was:
1 month after graduating college in 2003 I moved from my hometown in West Chester, PA (about 40 minutes outside of Philadelphia) across the country to California with a friend from college. I was always sort of a "momma's girl" and was a little overly dependent on my family nearby. Moving really taught me how independent I really was and taught me alot about how strong I actually am. Unfortunately I now think this has become an issue for me in finding someone to spend the rest of my life with.
