So, I made it safe and sound. I know it's been a while since I posted but its due to me getting busy and throwing myself out there to the job sharks. I'm happy to say that after almost a month of hardcore job searching I have finally found employment! I am stoked, and so RELIEVED to have finally found a job, its definitely a good start and I'm glad its one less thing for me to worry about.
Changing plans to move (back) to Modesto was a bit of a turmoil for me, I really hadn't like Modesto or the area, not back then, not ever. I was reluctant but "taking one for the team" so to speak. Doing so would be the best thing for my girls and let me tell you its' been pure joy to be close to them and see them almost every day. But I have to admit now, that being in Modesto isn't as bad as I thought.
Other than the traffic and the high gas prices ($3.66 a gallon, yikes!) I am really enjoying my time, and love being back in "civilization". Maybe its the fact that I don't have to drive 45 minutes just to go to the grocery store, or 3 hours to all my favorite department stores, I have options now and I don't HAVE to shop ebay for the best deals on decent clothing. Oh and did I mention that we have REAL Starbucks here?? Not those silly little mini-Starbucks that are stuffed inside Safeway grocery stores. I love that I can go in and sit down and listen to groovy soothing jazz music instead of a myriad of angry shoppers pushing grocery carts.
Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of very enjoyable perks to living life simply and I grew to appreciate a lot. But I think Dorothy had the right kind of mind set... "There is no place like home."
So I think I'm going to stay put for a little while...or a long while. Modesto is my home, and home is where I want to be.
