A New Chapter

Well, well, well ... things have certainly changed in the last oh ... 2 weeks! 

On Halloween I was contacted by someone I went to school with about a possible opportunity at a law firm in Orange County.  Over the next couple days I corresponded with the president of the firm and set up on interview for the following Monday (11/5). 

The firm is right down the street from where I went to law school.  The cases that they handle are highly specialized.  The people seemed awesome.  The interview went well ... really well ... 2 hours after it, I was offered the job!  The catch?  They wanted me to start the following week.

I had to make a decision fast, but when it came down to it, it was really a no-brainer.  Despite hating change, I know I needed it.  I really, really wanted to be back in southern California with my amazing friends.  I really needed to move on in my career path (whatever it may be).  I also needed to move out of my parent's house and get back on track with my fitness routine. 

So, I accepted the job and told them I would start the following week.  I gave a week notice at my tutoring and babysitting jobs and started packing.  I was excited, but also anxious. 

I was looking forward to getting back to my adult life which I felt like I left behind in southern California, and I did not anticipate saying goodbye would be so difficult.  But it was.  It was really, really hard.  Especially saying goodbye to Adam - that was by far the hardest.  Luckily, I will get to train with him every time I go back to the bay area. 

So exactly 2 weeks from when I found out about the job opportunity, I moved back down to Orange County.  It's a "soft move" considering I pretty much only brought my clothes.  The rest of my stuff will come down in a few weeks when my friend and I move into an apartment together. 

I am excited to get settled back in, to learn a ton at my new job, and to re-establish my fitness routine.  I am excited for this new chapter of my life.

Say yes to new beginnings and new chapters in life!
