30 Days Down

Everything is going great with the job. I've gotten to know some residents by name (there are soo many!) and most staff. The other supervisors and I get along great and have even friended eachother on Facebook, so you know its serious! :)

With Cristy and Nate on their own epic adventure roadtrip, I'm reading their blog and looking at their pictures. I'd think that I would be more jelous if I hadn't so recently finished my own. Honestly, the novelty of getting into my bed at night and hot coffee automatically brewed in the morning still hasn't worn off. I appreciate having the ability and time to take a bubblebath after work, lazing on the couch watching TV without guilt if I want too, and spending time with friends so much that my travel bug is still satiated. I'm so happy for them and excited to hear the stories they will have when they return. It sounds like they are meeting incredible people along the way too. That is what I miss right now. I miss my hiking friends whom I spent every day with for two months! I miss my navigator, Nothai. I miss Bluto's laugh, Windmill's smile, AT73 peaceful aura, Queen Becky's energy, talking and walking with Chef, Scree's laughter, and all the stories and comments shared among everyone I met along the way.

Ending the Epic Adventure

Okay, so I got a job in Southfield, MI that I'm really excited about and have even moved into my new apartment. The job is working for an independant living senior housing community as the business office manager. Any other job and I'd have more mixed feelings about staying in Michigan, but I'm really happy about this job. I wanted to make the change into senior housing from residential, I really like the people I work with, and I'm happy about still being with friends here. This company has 70 something properties through the states, including properties in Colorado!

So, here I am back in Michigan for a while...lol!
