It has been 6 months since I moved to San Diego and I am excited, amazed, appreciative, and any other positive adjective you can think of...for the experience so far. Time goes by way too fast the older you get. This time last year I was getting back from my trip to Maui, Hawaii and preparing to move out of my townhome and into my brother's condo temporarily. To think that was a year ago is beyond me.
I have been thinking a lot about my career, my life, and just in general...thinking. What do I want to do next year for work? Will I go back to teaching? Will I stay at SAY and take one more "me" year? I can honestly say for the first time in my life...I have no idea what the future holds, I have no set plan, and I am kinda at a crossroad. It is a weird feeling. I have always been a planner, always been set on what I want to do...but not anymore. In a lot of ways this year has really spoiled me. The thought of a 9-5 makes me cringe but yet I know that I am an adult and well...life is not cheap...I will have to work :)
I know I want to continue my work with kids, I know I want to stay in San Diego at least another year, I know I have to have a job. These are all things I know.
A few exciting things on the horizon...Coed bowling league starting, a possible trip to Big Bear in Feb., a possible trip to Vegas in March, Tracy and Maria visiting in April....
I have also booked my trip home to ATL and NC this summer! I will be in NC July 4th-10th and ATL July10th-19th. Tracy, the kiddos and I will continue our annual tradition of heading to Kure Beach, also we will be going to the Taylor Swift concert courtesy of Tracy's husband, and then a week to visit with family and friends in what will be a very hot and very humid mid July visit. I will also make time to see Ginny in Savannah who will have a newly born precious Salley girl #3 (she is due end of May) and off to Jacksonville, FLA to visit Lauren who will have about a 4 or 5 week old bambino. July seems so far away but it is nice to know I will make it home to visit.
Coronado is becoming mine and Roxie's go to place these days...amazing beach and warm Winter days make it easy to head out there with a good book, a chair, and a few beach toys for the pup. I will never be able to explain what the beach and ocean do for my mind and soul. I swear I had to have been some sea creature in a past life because it all makes sense to me at the beach. No matter what mood, what my week or day has been like...it can always be cured by a little salt water and sand. I hope everyone has a place or spot like this....I can't imagine if I didn't.
