I Am No Longer Homeless!

I have a place to live in 3 weeks when I move :)  I have an address with a 14607 zip code :)  Whoop whoop!  And here it is...

My new apartment!

I can't wait to decorate and get settled in!

I thought that as this move got closer and closer that I would get more and more nervous.  However, that is not what is happening...I mean it kind of is.  I am a little anxious about handling being away from my mom and my family.  I am really nervous that I am going to make fool out of myself and be in way over my head.  I worry about being alone and having to make all new friends, something that doesn't always come easily to me.

But I am also super excited.  I am excited to learn new things.  I am excited to work with my advisor.  I am excited to do more research.  I am excited for the challenge of being somewhere new.  I am excited to be closer to my East Coast friends.

All things considered, I know I can handle it.  It is all coming together!  And basically, I know that I am doing the right thing with my life.  I am excited to see what the future brings!

Moving On

Saturday was my last day at The Children's Place.  I have worked there for 4 years...almost to the day.  I was super blessed to have a job.  And that it was a job that was flexible enough for me to stay a full time student; it paid for my car; I made some awesome friends.  I am glad, though, to be done.  If it were not for the people at my job I would have left it a long time ago.  Leaving the store on the last day was a crazy mix of emotions.  I will honesty and sincerely miss my dear TCP family.  I will not miss the company I worked for.  (If I'm being 100% honest, I will probably not even shop there if I ever have kids.)  A big thanks goes out here to the internet universe for my co-workers and all their support!

It's time to move on!!
