It's always scary starting something new. I feel as though this past month has been one of the most stressful ones I have had in a long time.
It all started with the initial job searching. Man, I hated that. I am so thankful that I was offered a full time position and am now working. The next stressful thing was moving. Oh man. It seems as though any time I attempt to leave Minnesota that I encounter some sort of problem. This time, it consisted of my car breaking down in Bismarck, ND. All I remember is sitting in my car, in the heat, sweating, and sobbing not knowing what to do. Thankfully, I have incredible family members and my dad and grandfather came to my rescue. They picked me up and the three of up took an impromptu trip out to Montana. I am so thankful for them and I cannot thank them enough. And then there was apartment shopping. I've gotta say, there is a portion on looking at apartments that is exciting and fun, but mostly it's just stressful and time consuming. Again, thankfully, I found a sweet, little studio apartment in a little over a week and am now all moved in a beginning life there.
Even though the last month was incredibly stressful, I have so much to be thankful for. First of all, my family. They've been so incredibly supportive through this entire process. I find myself becoming emotional typing about my family, because they are just so good. Secondly, my incredible friends in Montana. If it weren't for them, I would have had nowhere to lay my head while searching my a place of my own. They put up with all my stuff being in their space, they provided such hospitality and delicious food, and some seriously great company. Thirdly, my boyfriend. He has been amazing at being there for me when I need to break down and freak out jobs stuff and has also been there to laugh with me during new adventures in Montana. He has introduced me to many new friends and connections. I am one lucky girl to have such a dear, dear friend as him. And lastly, I have to thank my new work. They have been SO understanding and supportive through the entire process of moving and getting settled.
All in all, I feel happy and content in this new chapter of life. I feel as though things have fallen into place, even with the stress, and that helps me know that it was meant to be for me to come here. After transitioning from the UK to Minnesota and now to Montana I have to say that it is GREAT to be semi-settled for once in a very long time. I have no idea what is in store this next chapter of life, but I know I am excited to see how things unfold. Thank you to all of you for your love and support in so many forms.
Here's to chasing dreams!
