I was approached in December by a friend and his father-in-law who is a longtime business man in Cabool about taking over their accounting position. After much debate, and several conversations, it felt like it the right time and place to go for it.
Since the end of the year is a very busy time for accounting jobs, I had told them that I couldn't just leave Howell-Oregon immediately. They agreed to a start date of February 1st and the deal was done.
I didn't know how emotional and exhausting it would be to leave a long-time job one day, then start a new one the next. It made sense for financial and insurance purposes, but it was really hard.
Surprise cake and goodbyes
I enjoyed my time in West Plains, but I just needed to get closer to home and have flexibility.
I had forgotten how much it stinks to start out somewhere, not knowing a thing, feeling pretty worthless.
I'm only a month into my new normal, but I could instantly tell the perks outweighed any "negatives". I take Griffin to school almost every morning.....I ride my bike at lunch around the lake/town.....I walk to the Post Office to get the mail....and I really enjoy seeing people throughout the day that I haven't gotten a chance to talk to in years.
Most importantly, I'm 2 minutes from school and won't have to miss a minute of the kids' activities. I am thankful.
