So this week has been dragging a bit.  I’m excited for Monday to get here and I’m also a bit anxious for it’s arrival.  It’s typical.  I’ve experienced it when I started my first job at Sonic.  Sitting at the airport waiting for my a drill instructor to pick me up.  Moving from school to school and eventually landing in Camp Pendleton.  Starting work at a supply warehouse to being officially in charge of the receiving warehouse.  Going over to help the Military Police to knowing that I was heading into a war zone in T-5 hours.  Receiving my discharge papers and arriving on my university campus for the next 4 years.  All leading to graduating and driving off into the sunset for a brighter future.

Now.  Jumping on a new ladder in life, starting what sounds and feels like a promising career climb.

So I guess I’ll sit back a little longer, breathe deep, and have peace in knowing that things will work out.

The living situation couldn’t be any closer to perfect.  I’m living extremely cheap for the area until I get married in July (on Surf Way, I might add).  I live with a very skilled family that grew up in the Novato area and who has traveled a lot.  They’ve driven me all over, shared experiences, and explained what kind of great things there are to do around the bay area.  They share their food and their culture (husband is Japanese) as well as a bed and desk.

But it’s not all picture perfect.  I’m 1,500 miles away from the most familiar faces.  I don’t have any belongings quite yet.  And July is too far away.  Distance sucks, but hopefully I can wrap my mind around work and personal projects to forget about it.  It won’t quite feel like home until I get Megan out here with her own career, our new place set up, and eventually having my mom and brother out for a visit.

Patience is virtue.  No doubt about that.
