My Words. Your Eyes. Our Moment.

I get kind of a rush every time I complete a job application. The one today… it could be the one. Breathe in for luck. I’ve been so lucky so far.

I’m really leaving AUHCC. I’m really moving to Chicago. This is seriously about to happen.

For the record, I am really proud of the person I am and I feel stronger every day. I’m really proud of myself for making empowered decisions to stand up for my beliefs, my personal standards, and the standards of the company I am so loyal to. I have a very strong sense of value and ethics and I know that the impact I have made on my department over the last two years is unique and appreciated. I will leave the banquets department at the Hotel at AU feeling awesome about my time there, the things this experience has done for me, and the things I have done for that hotel, my coworkers, and all of the guests who I helped make their experiences memorable (in a good way). It has been extremely rewarding and I have grown. All smiles :)

But the only thing I expect to really miss about living in Auburn……. the football.

Seriously. War Damn Eagle. I will miss it. So much it’s ridiculous. And I don’t expect most people I meet in Illinois to ever understand that.

Driving to Chicago today. Going to find our new apartment in Oak Park tomorrow. Getting married in 39 days.
