What a Difference a Year Makes
A year ago today Boyfriend and I started our day commuting to work with the company jet.
The night before we had attended a Sunday evening wedding and didn't want to take time off of work the next day so we just flew home. The early flight was extremely rough-not only was there horrible turbulence but my stomach was feeling extremely queasy from the amount of wine I had consumed the night before. Basically-wild party nights and a 5 am flight do not mix.
Once at work, and with a full belly, I was still feeling really sick. I glanced over at my calendar and with the light bulb going off so bright it burst, I knew I was pregnant.
I don't know how I knew-I hadn't even gotten to the point where I would have a missed period. I was only about three weeks pregnant but I just knew. I was slightly confused-without providing too much information, with Boyfriend's travel schedule and my cycles I shouldn't have even considered the fact that I was pregnant, but again I just knew.
A few of the longest hours I ever endured later, I confirmed my gut feeling by peeing on a stick in the bathroom at Target during my lunch break.
This past year has been every extreme possible in all facets of my life-from family, to personal growth to my career. Just as we are figuring things out with our newest addition, I am about to change everything up in one major way, again.
For the second year in a row, September 30th has become a monumental day in my history. Today was my last day at my current position and tomorrow I start a new role (with the same company, but completely different department).
I'm incredibly excited but also so, so nervous. I mastered my last position, it was easy for me to succeed. I was liked by my peers and leaders. So walking into that new office, where the only things people know of me are what I expressed in my interview is equally liberating and nerve wracking.
Leaving my job today was bittersweet. It was time but I did love my job. Just like when I glanced at the calendar one year ago and knew my life would forever change, I had the same gut instinct when I saw that open position-I instantly knew that I would have a new title in the near future.
I now have experienced huge benchmarks that show me just how much can change in a year. I feel like the possibilities going forth are unimaginable and can't wait to see what the next trip around the sun will bring me.

it's interesting that this is a mark for you as well. sept 30th was the day that my best friend almost died in a motorcycle accident. 2 years ago I fell rock climbing and 4 years ago my sister had her last chemo treatment!! just wow.
