...It Only Took EXACTLY 5 Months

...5 months to the day I got fired [January 11th, 2010] I got the phone call that has now changed the life I knew. I'm happily no longer unemployed *hip hip hooray* I also no longer live in Philly......

Today started my new journey as a Maryland resident. I work in Baltimore and reside in Accokeek.

I'm very thankful for this opportunity.

Alot of people I know have gone up to and over a year without a job, I feel blessed to have gotten one in such a short amount of time especially with the way the economy has been iffy in certain places like Philly.

I'm glad I was determined enough to be employed I took the chance to apply out of state.

I'm thankful for my family who are allowing me to stay with them and helping me get on my feet out here

I'm blessed to have friends that although they were sad to see me go, are glad to watch me succeed

And I'm lucky to have a boyfriend who only wants the best for me and thinks more on that than his own personal gain from this situation.

Since I came back home from New Orleans, I started to feel like I'd probably never be able to get back out of Philly. I love my city to death, but it surely isn't where I want to spend my entire life. My current job if it goes well and as I hope/plan I will be able to see the world and [if I have one] can take my family with me. I can see myself getting into a situation where I'll be comfortable which is my number one goal for myself.

Today was the first day of my new future....let's see how far this goes...
