Welcome to Hotel California!!!

So this is my new life in California. I thought as crazy as this has already been and since I'm away from my friends now, maybe I should try this blogging thing. So here it goes kids. So what brings you to Cali? Whelp, once upon a time...November 2011...I've been laid off from my awesome job in CO and find myself trying to figure out what I wanted out of life. Tired of being laid off, I did a little soul searching to really decide what I wanted to do. I've always been very good with events, I'm great with people, I'm free for adventure at this point in my life, so where do I go with all of that? With the help of a number of awesome friends, my family and some aqcuaintences, I started going crazy networking. Skipping forward, one of those emails finally paid off and I find myself deciding on picking up my life and chasing my dreams, or taking the safe route and staying put. Yeah...I'm not much for the road most traveled, so after lots of praying, and talking to people, I decided to take the leap and head west! 3 weeks to lease my Denver apartment, find a place to live in CA and move my booty to San Diego. That was probably the hardest three weeks of my life....well, up until I got here!! But we'll get to that. What better way to start your adventure of moving to CA than a stop in Vegas on your way!! So with the help of my AMAZING friend, Holly, we loaded up and hit the road!!! (that's all I can say about Vegas...you know what they say...) Rules are rules!! But we had a blast! So great to have such supportive friends in my life. Also, lucky for me I have an amazing family and brothers that love me...so my awesome brother BJ and my honey pie, Ryan loaded up a truck with all my stuff and brought it put to me. Thank you guys so much!!! I love you and I'm so lucky to have you!! So here I am, we got to CA safe and sound...and that's when the craziness began. Where do I even begin? Let me say this for sure...don't move in with people you've never met!!!! I know I didn't have a lot of time to work with, but holy crap, I've never felt so duped in my life!!! These people are INSANE!!!!! I can't get over it. So about 2 hours after I met these clowns, I knew this was already a place I had to get out of. Life is way too short to be unhappy, so I've been looking for a place to live since I got to CA. Lucky for me, my boss had a friend looking for a new roomie. Great news for me! So we met up and she's awesome, so I'll be moving in less than 2 weeks now. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! A huge weight is already coming off my shoulders. I will finally be able to enjoy and relax and just live my new life. I'm so excited. My job is awesome!!!! I'm so Blessed to have this opportunity. I'm working really hard to learn as much as I can so I can make my way up the ladder. It's cool to have an actual career path now. I've loved most of my jobs up to this point, but I've never really been sure where any of them were going. Now I have a goal that I'm shooting for and I'm gonna do my darnedest to get it!!! That's the last month or so in a nutshell. Crazy people, home for Christmas, LA for New Years Eve, friends coming to see me and getting ready to move again. I need a nap, that's for sure!! I'll fill in the gaps of crazy in the days to come, but that's where I'll leave it for now. Welcome to Cali. Can't wait for the awesome adventures that are waiting for me. And I can't wait to tell you all about it. Love you all! Miss you a TON!!! E
