As some of you might remember, late last year I announced that Isaac and I were moving back East. The original take off date was the end of May. Then life began to change as it always does and I announced that Isaac and I were going to stay in LA for a bit longer. To be honest I have been in a relationship with a wonderful guy, Isaac needs surgery again, and at the time I had a great job right here in sunny California. Well like all good things, some things come to an end. I finished my editing job at the beginning of March, and have yet to find another. The economy has finally caught up with Hollywood and it's hitting us hard. For the first time in 7 years I find myself with no work, and I'm not the only one.
I have begun to think about going back to school (for medicine of all things!) and it looks like I will have better luck finding a job with a production company based in Philly or with a company in Silver Springs, MD.
So on June 29th, I will be driving a giant yellow truck across country with all of our earthly possessions and Isaac and I are heading home. I have very mixed feeling about the move. One side of me is so excited to be going back east (I miss my people) and the other side of me is heart broken and sad (I have to leave my relationship with Brian behind and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to miss Los Angeles at least a little bit.)
I am the type of person who is known for jumping into the deep end with both feet without thinking about it first (this annoys my little sister Rachel to no end.) I have always been a strong swimmer and I have never doubted my decision to dive in, but I find myself a little frustrated as I say good bye to my way of life for the last 7 years and to a man that I have fallen very much in love with.
For the first time in a long time I feel as though I have absolutely no idea what the future holds, I have no idea which way is up, and I have no idea how this will all play out, and to be quite frank, that scares me just a wee bit!
But I know in my heart this is the right decision. I have complete faith that God has a plan in all this (whether it's for me to stay in TV editing or for me to go back to school full time and do the one other thing I have a very deep passion for!) I find myself at a crossroads and my choices are "road less traveled" or "road less traveled". Funny how God does that sometimes. He presents you with a choice, but takes the challenge of deciding out of it for you.
I think I'll take the "road less traveled" and see where it leads me!
