New Beginnings
December 21, 2014
Today's prompt:
What has happened during the past year that has felt like a new beginning for you?
Hah!
The whole year has been a new beginning, which started when I got a LinkedIn email from a woman I worked with at the software company telling me about a possible opportunity. (Aw, fuck it - the "software company" is Manugistics. The company doesn't exist anymore.)
I had my first interview on December 11.
I got the job on February 6 and gave my notice on February 10 -- to make sure I'd get my bonus.
We found our apartment on February 16.
I started my new job on March 3.
We moved from Burtonsville MD to Eagleville PA on March 15.
We successfully navigated the PennDOT bureaucracy.
We lived through a flood!
We have explored -- and continue to explore -- many breweries!
We found a great place for music! And we saw Paul and Fred and the New Orleans Suspects!
We went to some very interesting places, including a great Phillies game.
We sold our house in Burtonsville. It took forever, but now it's done.
I could go on and on and on. Let's just say that this Big Adventure, which started with an email, is now a way of life -- or really, a continuing adventure.
