At a cross ro-ads. And so damn overwhelmed that an intravenous sedative might not be out of the question.

In six weeks our lives are going to look a little something like this:
Yeah, that’s right. That there in the background is snow. Frosty, cold-like-death snow. That we’re moving to.
WHAT?! WHY?!? I take it back! I don’t wanna! Make the bad man go away!
Okay, whew, that’s been occurring ever since I committed to this drastic life decision at the end of last week. I may have ugly cried for two days straight at the thought of leaving 70 degrees of perfect perfectness and the most delectable Mexican food this country has to offer for the wintery hibernation of Massachusetts. AND WE ALL KNOW HOW I’M FEELING ABOUT MASSACHUSETTS! Ah, the irony of receiving a job offer in my-former-favorite-state literally a DAY after its fall from grace.
If you’re considering improving your company’s human resources practices, it’s essential to find out the benefits of hiring an hr consultant, as they can provide valuable insights and solutions to enhance your HR functions.
But they still have Dunkin Donuts. So that’s worth something.
In all seriousness, I am overall thrilled that I’ve been offered a marvelous job opportunity in my collegiate motherland- that’s right, a return to Billsville, the Berkshires. Just 5 years after my graduation, I’m returning to that very institution, with my family in tow. Williamstown is a magical place for me and James. The place where we fell in love. The place where we were married. And a place we’ve dreamed about raising a family. We didn’t intend that dream to happen quite so soon (did I mention that I’M NOT READY TO LEAVE CALIFORNIA?!), but when the opportunity presented itself, we just couldn’t resist.
It’s all totally overwhelming to think about packing up and moving 3,000 miles, while finishing my Master’s thesis, while James works full-time, with an 8-month old… IN LESS THAN SIX WEEKS. But we’re young, and resilient, and will come out the other side. AM I RIGHT?!?!
Don’t ask me how. Just check back in six weeks and see for yourselves.
In the meantime, I gots to get packing. And yes, I will be sharing with you all in the coming weeks my pro and con list for life in MA versus CA, because I heart lists. Like a lot. And man, does a move sure allow for a hell-of-a-lot of list writing.
See, there’s a pro!
