The difference a (not quite) year makes

Wow. It's been 10 months since I updated. And boy, the changes that have occurred since then. For starters, I moved my family across country again! It had become more and more apparent that the job I was in was just NOT working out. I was unhappy and unappreciated. My daughter was still struggling with making friends and fitting in, and my husband couldn't quite find his place. Just when I was about at the end of my rope, a new opportunity came about, and I'm happy to say we're now living in Tennessee. I used to think that my career would take an uphill trajectory, meaning that the organizations I worked for would be bigger and better than my previous job. However, I am here to tell you that bigger is not necessarily better. Now that I'm working for a much smaller organization, I actually feel as if I've found the right fit.

My daughter is much happier, making friends and doing much better in school. Hubby is pursuing some opportunities and he also is happier here. We have space to breathe and opportunities to make new friends.We are closer to 'home' and are already planning on going back to see family for the holidays. Although we're in a smaller town, I think there are several opportunities for me to get back into theatre. It has been two and a half years since I've done a show. To say I miss being on stage is an understatement. Although it's always just been a hobby, it's such a creative outlet for me, and I would love to be a part of that environment again.

I hope that at some point, hubby and I can start our theatre company here. Time will tell.
