For those of you who don’t know, I have been offered a position with Jackson County Children’s Division in Kansas City Missouri. I am in the process of packing up my apartment (boo) so that I can move into a bigger and nicer duplex in Kansas City (yay!). My friend Heather and I spent about four hours packing today and managed to pack up roughly 1/3-1/2 of the apartment. Unfortunately, I still have the kitchen to go and if you’ve ever seen my kitchen, you know that I have an incredible amount of kitchen stuff.
I leave Norman July 28th and begin work on August 1st. It all feels very sudden but I’m attempting to take it in stride. There is a song by Katy Perry called “Firework” and in it there is a line that says “Maybe the reason why all the doors are closed, so you could open one that leads you to the perfect road.” It is a bit funny that I spent over a year applying for and interviewing for jobs in Oklahoma and the first time I interview for anything in Missouri (over the phone, no less) I am offered the job.
Overall I feel good about all these changes but I am NOT looking forward to moving with Penny. If you’ve never had the pleasure of moving with a cat, let me tell you it is about 1000 times harder than moving either alone or with a dog. However, you could be as lucky as my Aunt Linda and be moving with four cats. Makes me glad I just have one.
