changes…big ones

going to haiti changed everything. i learned a ton, and was set free from a lot of expectations i had about my life. coming home meant that i had to actually start living those new things i learned. at the top of the list was that i hated my job. (i can be really dramatic, and if i'm really honest, i don't think i hate my job. i definitely don't have a passion for it, and there are parts that suck, but its not quite hate. i complained a lot, and i appologize to everyone who had to hear it) they made it really easy for me, and i ended up putting in my notice. i'm starting my last week today, and this time its for real. friday is my last day, and then i am done. that both excites me and terrifies me at the same time. i will be going back to school, but right now the timeline on that is still up in the air, and the finances are equally uncertain. i feel a peace that this was the right thing to do and the right time to do it, but i am still left in a place of insecurity. on april 7, i'm headed back to haiti, to work with bruce and deb again. i'm looking forward to that for so many reasons, i can't even express. also, my parents are in the process of adopting 4 kids out of foster care in the town i grew up in. that means 2 new sisters and 2 new brothers. i'm still processing what that means. it means birthdays, christmases, graduations, weddings, nieces and nephews, etc. for the rest of our lives. crazy. after haiti, i'm flying to california to meet them, and see what its like to be a member of this new family. i'm also really excited about that! i will finally be returning to seattle on april 22, and then the real fun and uncertainty begins. i have no idea what life will look like when that rolls around.
