My Last State Move

My Last State Move

The last time I moved to another state was at the end of 2007. I had already moved back and forth four times before we decided just to stay in New Mexico. So I wasn't really nervous, since i had already made friends here. I remember my father coming to get me from California. I remember packing for three days before he came to get me and take me home. The last thing i packed was my clothes, I remember this because I wasn't aloud to take all of them with me. I was only aloud to take 10 outfits because we had limited space in the car.  I remember the day that he pulled into the drive-way. We lived on a dirt road so he pulled in zooming past the stop sign and it seemed like he was trying to drift into the driveway of which was also dirt and a pebble here and there. When he made the turn you could see a dust cloud come up and a few rocks fly. He came to a fast halt and jumped out of the car and grabbed my bags and put them in the car. I had to quickly tell everyone bye. I jumped into the car in the back seat it smelt like day old coffee, slim jims and my Grandmothers perfume. The seats were made of leather, I was wearing shorts so the seats stuck to my legs. About an hour into the car ride my Father started playing music  all the songs i used to love because I was sad I had to leave my sisters behind. The drive from California to New Mexico is 8 hours or more depending on where and to you come from and go. We sat in the car and made small talk for a while. I was only 5 at the time but I was mature for my age I loved reading so id read all the time  in the car I read a lot of books. it was extremely boring.

 By the time we got back to Belen , New Mexico My grandmother who was in the car with us was sick. So we dropped her off at her apartment with my cousin who took car of her while he lived with her. Then we drove back to my fathers house. We unloaded the car when we arrived. we then went inside and went to bed. The last time I moved to another state it was chaotic leaving my home the place I felt comfortable at. Sometimes I wish that I had never moved so that I could still be with my sisters. I know it was for the best though. It was the best but worst thing that has happened to me. Im thankful for it all though.
