Change is coming...

There is a lot going on at the present moment.  About a week and a half ago, I turned in my two-weeks notice at LaGrange College informing them that I have accepted a new position.  My last day at the College is this Wednesday.  I will be moving from LaGrange and to Blacksburg, VA on July 7.  I will begin my new job as Residential Learning Coordinator for Virginia Tech on July 11.  Oh yea, and I have an exciting trip to Boston to see one of my best friends, Alicia, right in the middle of all of this! 

I am SO excited to start this new chapter of my life.  As many of you know, the last year and a half has proven to be quite a challenge.  Although it is hard to see it right now, I know that I have learned a lot from this difficult time.  I am grateful for the people I have met and students I've gotten to work with while at LaGrange College, but I am very much ready to take this next step.  Although I have to admit, I'm also scared out of my mind!  I'm going into a field in which I do not have direct previous experience.  There is a lot of unknown that is coming with this move, and that's always a scary thing (especially for a planner like myself).

But you know what, despite the fear and unknown and all of the questions, I absolutely cannot wait!  I've always dreamed of being able to go back to my alma mater and give back to the institution that had such an impact on my life.  There is a lot that needs to be figured out between now and then, but who cares?!?  I'm going back to the land of the Hokies!!!
