In the 3 years Chuck and I have been together, I’ve never had the chance to bring him to Atlanta to see the many great friends I have from my time living there. But this past weekend, we finally did it. We made it to the ATL for a surprise birthday party and managed to squeeze in some friend time and walking around the downtown area, where I spent so much of my 14 years with CNN.
What I learned from this trip is that although I did enjoy living in Atlanta and miss some aspects of it, the one thing I really miss are my friends. Not that I don’t have great ones here in New Orleans, but my time in Atlanta (and New York) is where I met my “soul” mates in friendships.
I was thrilled when they all accepted Chuck so quickly and it’s even better that he likes them all as well. So spending time with all of us is easy and fun and just puts a big ole smile on my face.
And while this past weekend wasn’t great to get to see everyone, it just emphasizes the fact that I need to go back more often. I need to smile more often.
