everything happens for a reason :)

When I decided to move out here, I had been planning on being a nanny because it is something that I love and good at. I had a lot of jobs possibilities lined up and met with families when I arrived. The two that worked best were really part time only like a couple hours one or two nights a week. I was doing that for a while but I still needed something a little more full time. My brother-in-law, Will said that his office had really needed help at their office and that they are looking to hire someone else. I jumped right on that and told him that I was totally interested. Will's brother Ryan was the one that would be hiring me and I was waiting for a phone call from him to talk about the job position. He me on Saturday and asked if I was interested and I said I was so he asked if I could start Monday(yesterday). I said of course and I was really excited and a little nervous because it is something new and that can always be a little intimidating. My uniform is navy blue scrubs and I was super excited about that because for some reason I have always wanted to wear scrubs...haha. Not to mention they are super comfortable and I won't ever have to think about what I am wearing to work. I will be working Mon, Wed, Frid from 8ish-7ish...it's an hour away so Will and I will drive together which will be nice. I would say my first day went well. It was a lot of information crammed into my brain but throughout the day I felt pretty comfortable with things considering it was my first day. The only thing that makes me pretty nervous is answering the phone because I do not know enough about everything to have questions asked of me that I do not know the answers to. It will just take time and a little practice though.
I have been so happy and content lately. It is a really good place to be in and I feel at peace that everything is playing out the way it should be. Taking this huge step out and moving across the country was something I never thought I could have done but up to this point and I am SO sure I made the right decision! Being content and happy is such a good place to be because it has been a while since I have felt like this. I had always needed someone else to make that happen. Now that I am finally alone and away from all that I can finally live life for me and not depend on anyone else for that happiness. I have learned that I can not depend on people, especially guys in my life, for my happiness. That has to come first before I will ever be ready to be in another relationship...even though that is the farthest thing from what I want or need but the funny thing is that I am very much okay with that. I can not even remember back to a time where I have felt this good inside!
Today we drove to Pittsburgh...we've been there quite a few times since I have been here. That's where all the fun things are and the city is absolutely beautiful! We went to eat lunch at CPK which just opened today and we were super excited about that because they do not have any around here. It may have been the first one in Pittsburgh, not sure. Then we went to this huge mall which is pretty much like South Coast. Loved it. I did a little shopping which is always fun. Then we ended out little Pittsburgh adventure with some yummy Jamba Juice which is also not near us. Pittsburgh is the place we have to go to get all out yummy cravings that are on pretty much every corner in California. We must really want it because we drive like 45 min to an hour to get it. Haha..it SO worth it though. I guess that's all for my update...
