23 Years, Leading up to now!

I promised a little background info, so here it goes. My past 23 years in one post, woah!
After growing up in Sandy CA and loving every minute, I decided it was time for a change and what better time than college! So with much of my parents help, I set off for Funky Town Texas where I spent 4 amazing years. Friends, family, classes, college football and good times taught me to sincerely love that place (which I'll call FrogVille University). But after four years, I had bigger and better things to think about! My best friend, I'll call her Pal, and I were not ready to settle down with jobs and be grown ups just yet!! A month after we graduated from our respective universities, we packed our backpacks and spent 5 months in Europe! Pal and I worked in the Swiss Alps at a sports summer camp for 11 weeks and then traveled to 13 countries for two and a half months after that. Come Thanksgiving time, we decided to reunite with the fams and come home to Sandy.
With Europe behind me, I needed to find a job, and in this economy, that was not such an easy task. I came out of Frogville U with my degree in Kinesiology and teaching credential in Physical Education. Since December, I have been substitute teaching in the very same school district that I went through in Sandy, which coincidentally is the same one momma works in! With her steller connections, I was able to stay busy in the schools. Thanks mom! :)
In December, I started thinking about my options for my future. I could literally do anything and go anywhere. The question was, where did I want to be and what did I want to go? A few options included returning to my beloved Texas to find a teaching job, move to Hawaii like my cousin just for fun, stay in California and try and battle finding a teaching career, or go back to school.
I got a phone call from my advisor and mentor while at Frogville, I'll call her Dr.DR. She knew my delima of what to do next and she sparked my interest because here I am now one month away from leaving Sandy for Funky Town. I'll get into that a little more later. But for now, you know a little more than before!

Catch ya on the flip side,
Cali
