Today is my 4th Anniversary.
2006 was a big year for me. Not only did I quit the best job I have ever had - or ever will for that matter - I left Michigan and moved to Florida and then I went to San Francisco and got married. Oh. And bought a house.
Big year.
Sometimes I still look around and wonder what the heck I am doing here. But then I come home and I know exactly what I am doing here. 3 dogs, 1 cat, a semi-refinished house and a husband that loves me and I love him. Life doesn't get any better than that. To think that I nearly did not make the move down here. Panic tends to set in when you are about to uproot everything you know and follow someone back to his home state and his home town.
It has taken me some time to feel this way. I think it was only this past year and a half that I started to relax and feel good. Partly because I no longer have the stress of working at the law firm I used to work at when I first moved down here. Boy did I hate that job. A bad job and bad employers can put your life so out of whack it's amazing. Now that I no loner work there, I am relaxed and finally happier since I have been here.
Now I look around and I pretty much have what I want. I have a great part-time job that has flexible hours and the majority of the work can be done from home. I have 3 dogs that I can spend time with and have fun with and I have a husband that is supportive and tolerant. I have friends down here in Florida that I consider to be true friends. I have met many wonderful and caring people and I am so much better knowing them and having them in my life.
I think I made the right decision.
