Be prepared for the longest post ever...
I started this blog right after Doug and I got engaged. A week after we got engaged we bought our little house. It was so far from what I had ever imagined as my "dream home". I had just started working and Doug had just finished law school. I remember feeling like I should be so excited but, I just looked at our house and felt a sense of depression. Butter cream walls, butter cream carpet and a kitchen from the 1950's. I decided at that moment that I was going to make the very most of what I had. I started this blog to vent my frustrations and document the progress as I SLOWLY made our house into a home. Somewhere along the way I became a little kooky and consumed with all things design.
Sometime over the past year I became very unhappy with my current job. I took the first job I interviewed for straight out of college. At the time, it seemed like it was perfect for my life plan. Work 2 years and go back to school to get my Masters in Social Work. Along the way plans changed. I would like to say I am generally a really happy person. I really like my husband, I have the best friends in the world and I talk to my Mom everyday. I realized that a huge chunk of my puzzle was missing. I hated my job. It had nothing to do with the actual job, it was more me. I felt stuck. Everyone else was on their 2nd and 3rd jobs, being promoted, chasing dreams and I was stuck in the same place I had been for 5 years. I started out the year dead set on getting out of my current situation and I was going to do something I love.
I finally put in my resignation last week. Tomorrow is my last day. I am so sad to leave my coworkers but it is time to move forward. I took a job with JR Huntley Homes. We were lucky enough to work with him on our kitchen renovation and had the best experience. I am so excited to learn more about what I love, share some projects and hopefully even work with some of yall.

ReplyDeleteChina locked down Wuhan and Hubei province on January 23. Hong Kong, which turned into a model of how to flatten the curve, recorded its first case at the same time. The White House has disputed when and if Trump was warned by US intelligence agencies about the coming storm. But it was all over the news — and given the interconnected nature of the globalized world it was obvious that it would soon arrive in the US.

Yet Trump spent the time between late January and announcing a "15 days to slow the spread" initiative in mid-March in denial, floating misinformation about the virus and creating an alternative reality in which it might "miraculously" disappear.

he said on February 2. But concern was already rising in the US public health community about what came to be seen as the almost certain spread of the virus to the US and whether the country was prepared for its onslaught on hospitals.

On February 25, Nancy Messonnier, the head of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, infuriated the White House by warning that disruptions to daily life in the US could be "severe."

She told schools to start thinking about closures and businesses to prepare for telecommuting in a prediction that turned out to be an entirely accurate summation of America's destiny.
