So the opportunity I have been waiting for has finally come. I got the job in Detroit working events for a private club, and start in a little over two weeks. I have a lot to do and a lot to think about between now and then.
I have to figure out my budget (I hate this word).
I have to find somwhere to live (any ideas???)
I have to hope they will give me the time off I need to a family vacation in February.
I have to pack all my stuff up.
I have to organize my belongings.
I have to rent a U-haul.
I have to make sure my father, brothers, and boyfriend can move me.
I have to think of everything.
It's times like these that I really miss my mother. She would be putting the lists together, and gathering my items up. She'd make sure my apartment is clean and help me clean the carpets, pantries and walls. She was truly a one-of-a-kind woman and the best mom I could of asked for. Of course, I'm realizing many things about her now that she is gone, but that seems to be the way it always is.
I have butterflies in my stomach and anxiety about starting the new job. I know it's because it's new and different, but I have my concerns too. It's going to be a lot of hours, and working every Thanksgiving, so I'm hoping my family will celebrate Thanksgiving on a different day. It's going to be a big change, but I think it's the change I need and have been looking for. I know this is the right opportunity because my mom has been watching over me making sure I make the right decisions. She always told me that she wanted me to learn from my own mistakes, so here I go. Off on my own to make those mistakes and to grow as a person.
Wish me luck.
