I called in my 2 week notice last sunday afternoon, and yesterday walked away from the restaurant for the last time - grinning from ear to ear. well...the last time until I have to go back to pick up my paystub BUT it was indeed a liberating feeling. I QUIT MY JOB!!!!!!!! I've never done that before. ever. but alas it was not just because I couldn't stand the place (which occasionally was true) but that I am moving. to boston. in like, a month.
scariest thought ever.
I've also never really moved (the 8 houses I've lived in since birth don't count as they were all within 20 miles of each other). I am overall incredibly excited and just a taddddd bit super-crazily-spazzing-out-because-I-will-miss-my-family-so-much. I literally lie awake in bed for at least 10 minutes per night and weigh whether I should go and pursue my photography career OR stay home and bake cookies with my mom for the rest of my life. it is a hard decision. because I seriously LOVE my family so much and have always known that no matter how my day goes, or how I feel, or what has happened, I can always come home to the comfort of my wood stove, drink tea while watching NCIS and have a 3 hour debriefing therapy session with my sister. whichever one happens to be home.
the good thing IS I will not be really leaving my family because I will be moving in with Teresa and Chris in Cambridge. I hope she likes having sister-talks, because we are having them. at least once a day.
it will definitely not be the same, but I believe I am ready for this new adventure. I am at that point in my life where I am free and single and can be as adventurous as I like. I have prayed and prayed and am continuing to pray for God's leading, because ultimately, that is my goal - no matter where I am. He has truly provided for me for the past 20 years and I trust that He will supply all my needs in this new season.
I quit one of my jobs so I can be a little less scatterbrained this last month and actually enjoy my family and friends while also working on my photography and hey, maybe I'll clean my room too. it's like a little stay-cation and so far (today is my first restaurantless day) I am loving it. evenings and weekends are mine again. MINE ALL MINE MY OWN! yes, it's that intense.
now I'm off to eat some more cookies...life is good.
