no longer unemployed

after nine months, i've landed a new job. yes, the whole chicago bit panned out and though i don't have to leave the great state of minnesota, i will find myself flying around the midwest more than before. chicago, columbus and pittsburgh, and of course, minneapolis. i'm so thrilled about the job though. after all that's gone on, i've realized that the world did give me what i needed when i needed it. most of the time (and in hindsight).

i was home when i needed to be home.
i found work when i needed money.
i was able to leave the state when my family needed me.

and these last few months have made me realize that i have the best hottie a woman could ask for, the best friends i could ever imagine and a family second-to-none.

so after all that gushing, i guess it sounds like this job has given me a new perspective. only time will tell. i'm glad to have some light amidst the rain.
