Goodbye Raleigh.

I feel like I've been approaching October 1 at break-neck speed, but I don't know that there would have been a different way...my last day of work was last week. That was pretty exciting slash sad to say goodbye to the people I have worked with for the past year and a half. If I get calls from my co-worker I am truly happy to talk to her, even if it means I have to account for conversations I've had with people trying to book a wedding.


I haven't even begun to process being unemployed since I've been busy packing, traveling to Richmond for a wedding and saying goodbye to everyone here. But even though I've been busy, I've been able to have my share of relaxing mornings at MT. (I feel like everything is right in the world if I get at least one hour at one of my favorite coffee places once a week.)


So, unemployment hasn't really sunk in, and neither has the fact that I am moved out of my sweet, albeit hard-to-get-to apartment with really high utility bills. It is empty and clean and hopefully someone else will enjoy the beautiful windows. I left some weather stripping on top of the refrigerator for the next tenant since I never got around to putting it on the windows to increase efficiency (U3A if you want the weather stripping).




Even though this hasn't all hit me, excitment has hit me. I can't wait to be a part of the Costa Rica community and build relationships with people I come in contact with. So, even though it's tearful to saygoodbye, I must. Goodbye Raleigh, The Rockford, Morning Times, Vintage, the Y with all its fabulous classes and crazy weight-lifters, my wonderful friends and family, Stuff, Lilly's, First Friday, texting, getting burned constantly by Zach, Grey's parties with the laddies, and One Tree Hill nights with Kristen. Goodbye for now and hello Costa Rica. I can't wait...
