I don't know when I knew for sure. Was it a day when I drove to Provo and saw the suit store for LDS missions? Or when it rained for two weeks straight? Or when I came back from Oz and started counting the days until ski season and realized that there are so many more days without skiing then ski days? Or when I had nothing to add to conversations about bike trails. I think it was mostly the realization that I wanted to be near friends and family, and be back in the city.
Or, to be honest, because it is too hard to live two different lives in one place and for me to be seasonal. I think to be a local here, you have to love summer as much -- or more -- than winter. Or not mind spending a ton of time in the car. Or wanting to do something like a triathalon more than see independent theater. I can't imagine how I am going to feel at Thanksgiving, knowing that everyone (especially one person) is out here, and I am not. It is going to be tough, but at least I will have time to adjust.
That's why I am going back to DC now -- if I waited to find a job, it could be forever because I am not there to apply immediately, go to lunch, talk to people, and be there to access what I can. And I realize that even with all of the downsides, DC is my home, and just being there last week, walking around, it didn't feel like a perfect place, but it was a comfort zone. Obviously, life out here is more laid-back, but when I sat at Tryst with the newspaper and seeing the crowd, that energy just felt like my energy.
I like to think that by taking the risk to be out in Park City, I learned a lot about myself, and have lived a more interesting life as a result. I know I have made amazing friends (again, one wonderful person in particular), that will have enhanced my daily life. And there is still a part of me that wishes I was laid-back, but there is just this fire in my belly as I read about different government jobs and things that I can do if I am back there.
So I am going home in a month. It was the hardest decision I have ever made. It's time, though.
