I certainly had no idea what 2020 had in store for me. We started the New Year at a funeral actually, my aunt passed away from multiple myeloma around Christmas and it just felt very unexpected to me. Later in January, we celebrated our one year in New Hampshire. I started tracking my moods because…
I feel like the last two years of my life didn't even happen. I've been at a new job for a week now and it's just like no time has passed. Just like I hadn't lost my job, moved back to my home state, and had to start all over. Because we moved from New…
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. That’s kind of how our move to NJ has felt. First, we had to move all our stuff into storage because we were having a hard time finding a place. It was such a pain and we each lived at our parents houses until we found a…
I mean, ouch. Job searching has been more than tough. Some days I get a call for a phone interview and become hopeful, other days there aren’t any new jobs posted, and some days I find a job that might want me but it’s not the right fit for me. Unfortunately, in this market it’s…
Favorite show: Criminal Minds Favorite memory: Going apple picking! My boyfriend and I have both been extremely stressed, leading to a lot of dumb fights. We had the chance to go apple picking, get some donuts, and check out my favorite diner and the weather was just so good and we were so happy. Favorite…

It's officially been two months since I was last employed. It's not the worst thing, I've been enjoying my free time especially as we prepare to move back to NJ. I can tell this break was a much-needed one, I've been sleeping better and just generally happier than I was when I was working.I've had…
Why did I move to New Hampshire? I was getting tired of my old position at my (now old) organization. I wasn’t getting along with one of managers and my job was a little monotonous. I said I needed a change or I’d be leaving. And we were at a point in our lives where…
When life decided to lay me off, it also did me a favor in making some decisions we’ve been shying away from. When we moved to New Hampshire, we knew it wasn’t going to be forever. Mostly because my boyfriend’s job is based in New Jersey and in order for him to move up he…
I'm pretty picky about the places I call home, I also think I approach it a little differently than most people. I can attach the word "home" to a place where I genuinely felt love, felt welcome, and felt comfortable. I've had a lot of homes in my life. And I've had a lot of…
