Not so baby Steps

I suppose that I haven't filled you all in very much on what I am doing here. 

I don't know that I have a very good answer.  I very much wanted to be near Zac and I felt like I could probably make it work.  I am young and it seemed like a great opportunity to see some place new.

I left for Hawaii with a short term offer from a friend to let me stay and a whole lot of things to figure out.  I tried for quite a while to secure a job before I came to the island but I learned that that is just not how things work here.  So I took the leap of faith (in what I'm not sure) and came here with no promise of employment or income.  

It has been stressful I might admit.  Now that I am here I can think of nothing worse than having to leave because I couldn't get my ducks in a row... and oh, aren't there a lot of ducks!  Jobs, apartments, cars.... it is enough to lose some hair I tell ya.  

So the very first thing I did Monday morning was start the job hunt with great gusto and I am really happy to say that just two days later I've accepted a position.  I am not in a spot to tell you all a whole lot about it right now and I still have my fingers in a few cookie jars so it could change again soon but the sweet relief of employment (the ticket to me staying on this beautiful island and by the man that I love) was enough to cause this little post.  

Please be happy with me!  

I start work on Monday and so instead of this weekend being filled with more grand hiking adventures (after the purchase of real hiking shoes) I will be spending my days shopping for Hawaiian professional attire (what's that?) and desperately trying to find some shoes that won't destroy my feet.  Although I'm sure it sounds fun, I will probably spare you the details.  

More soon and much love!
