I will always remember 2008 as the year I jumped off a cliff. Left my first job, moved to another city, started and left grad school in the span of 5 months, and then concluded by breaking my back at the end of the year. The year of 2009 started with a lot of uncertainty, but everything ended up coming together. I'm feeling settled in my job-happy to be doing something I'm really good at and I enjoy. I love my coworkers. All of them. It honestly feels like most mornings I'm heading to go hang out with friends rather than go to work.
I've met a lot of people here that I adore as well. I love having a partner in crime in Sarah, and that I've gotten to meet so many great people through her. Rockwood has completely reintroduced me to live music- something that I can't believe I went so long without. I love my Hoboken family and the millions of crazy shenanigans they get into. I look forward to Socapa this summer so I can see Nicolette all the time, and Josh completely won my heart by journeying unsolicited to Hoboken recently. I love that Kate is here, and that we're still good friends even though it's been eight years since we met. There is one friend I miss, and while I don't think it's something that will ever come back, I learned a lot about myself from that relationship.
I really can't imagine living anywhere else. and I look forward to moving in with Amanda this Fall!
