The past couple of months have been full of change and I have literally been all over the place. I've officially made the move to the West Coast and have enjoyed all 1600 minutes of my life upon entering this 72 degrees piece of heaven that is Los Angeles.
Life before the final, Final, decision to relocate to the opposite side of the country was hectic and would have probably caused much confusion had I tried to keep my blog updated throughout the decision process. I changed my mind daily, had a new idea daily, a new place I wanted to live, a new friend I wanted to convince to move with me.....It was a mess. BUT...Here I am, sitting in my new apartment in West LA (Palms, to be exact).
I spent May 17th-June 17th in Statesboro catching up with friends & fam, and my wonderful, amazing, super thoughtful and supportive boyfriend, Will. During my stay I did so many things...Hangout 2011 was by far the most exciting thing I did [Blog + Pictures to come later} while in the Southeast. All of my time there was so exceptional. I had a totally new appreciation for my Home and the Southeast in general. Now there were times that I was a total Sweaty Keith in 100+ weather, AND being annoyed by any given stereotypical Southern occurrence, no doubt, but at certain times I was able to find beauty in things that I was not previously able to appreciate, and I am grateful for that.
Got to catch up with many friends and had the pleasure of making a few new ones [Shout out to Morgan's cousin Lindsey from San Fran and Alexis D. from Dallas--my 2 favorite new friends--Extra special shout out to Emma T., Will's sis who I had the extreme pleasure of meeting for the first time before Hangout--huge success!]
Obviously I wouldn't have decided to move here if I had not first secured a job. Undiscovered/Heist has asked me to work more than just Sundays. While I was home for the past month, I was under the impression I'd be working 3 days a week, which is ok, but I would have most definitely needed a second job, if not a 3rd eventually. However, just minutes after we crossed the California state line, I received a call from my boss asking me to work 5 days a week! Very excited and thankful for this opportunity. I will be working at both stores, so this is a lot of new responsibility for me to take on, I hope I can learn enough about the brands we carry before I start (Friday--Ha!). Also, I stopped by Pizza Fusion, which has now successfully transformed into the Pour House and I must say, looks great. They asked me to come back, and I might. I can't work as much as they wanted me to, but I'm definitely interested in a few night shifts.
This is all for now. It's been a long day and I'm sleepy :) Oh yeah, today we purchased a bed, a refrigerator, and an internet/cable package. Not too shab for day 1.
Favorite part of day: Exploring around our neighborhood and being greeted with super friendly faces.
