Closing a chapter

I’m moving in less than a week.  I been offered an incredible opportunity at a hotel that I am in love with, and I cannot wait to start working there.  Outside of my professional glee, I’m not 100% sure that this is the right decision for me for my personal life, but there are a lot of reasons why I need to do this.  Over the past 2 years, I’ve come to appreciate the different directions life can take you, and this is just another ride life will take me on.  And I think a little part of me wants to prove that I can be a strong person outside of the umbrella of my family.

 Me and ATC

Last fall I was stressing myself out over where I would end up post graduation, and a professor of mine told me, “you don’t have you make the right decision, you just have to make a decision.”  I don’t think I’ve ever received advice that has stuck with me like this one line.

Although I am returning to a place I have already lived for a brief period of time, I truly feel this will be a new beginning.  I’ve been looking back on my life before this point, and it has been wonderful, amazing, and blessed beyond belief.  I hope it will continue to be the same way, but different because I will be in control.

 Me and Dr. Smith

Over the past two weeks I’ve tried to see as many friends of mine a possible, but there are only so many hours in the day, so if you’re reading this and I didn’t see you know that I love you and I’m sorry I had to go so soon!
