chapters and changes

there's been much on my mind the last month or so. 

lots of sorting and debating and i knew i had a choice to make.

and i chose to close one chapter and open a new one.

so i'm closing the chapter of my life that i was a flight attendant.

it wasn't an easy choice by any means. i have loved being a flight attendant! it's been such a great job for me and quenched my thirst for adventure. 

i have loved traveling and working and having new experiences all over the place every day!

but i have given up a lot with this job too.

and i've written all about that already here and here.

when i first signed up for this job, i signed up to be based in seattle or portland.

and 3 weeks into training i found out i would probably being going to medford, or,

which was a deal breaker.
(plus i'd be gone again for 5 nights a week).

and that happens at the end of august, so i put in my two weeks yesterday.

and it was scary.

scary because i don't have have anything else lined up yet.

but i've been super blessed to have a very supportive husband and family who believe i'm making the right choice. and i believe i am too. as much as i have loved being a flight attendant, i realized that it was not allowing me to be as involved in my family and community, which for me, is a very high priority.

so the fun begins again as i start looking for a new job. 

two potential craigslistings thus far:

1. professional dog runner

2. dance instructor (no experience needed!)

(and i'm kinda serious about the dance instructor) 

so thus far i can cross off:

nanny

after school assistant

social worker/youth mentor

flight attendant

i'm actually kinda excited to see how many random awesome jobs i can add to the list,

so any suggestions are very welcome:)
