Keep Calm....I'm Moving To HAWAII!!!!

    This is a picture of me in Hawaii. I was only 7 years old and I was on vacation with my family. My mom had be cured of her colon cancer and my family spent a couple of weeks to go on vacation to celebrate. I remember being at the airport and my dad rented  a convertible mustang. I thought it was the coolest thing ever even though we had to sit on top of our luggage because not all of it could fit in the trunk. It was pretty funny and one of my families favorite memories to this day. I loved everything about Hawaii. Growing up, I always dreamed that I would one day go back to live there and it looks like my dream came true. 

    Over the summer I attended a church fireside, I'm not exactly sure what the fireside was about, but I remember how the couple who spoke said they met in Hawaii while they were there for school. They talked a lot about their experience there and it really got me thinking about how amazing it would be if I could just move to Hawaii. I never really thought it would happen but I kept thinking about it and talking about it to my friends and family. I wanted to move to Hawaii so bad and I wanted to move there by next summer. Eventually life kind of gotten in the way. I had moved in with my sister, I have had a lot of car problems and I wasn't making enough financially and exverythinfb that was happening made me feel like my chances of going to Hawaii were slim to none. I believed that it wasn't my time yet for something big, like moving to Hawaii. Eventually I gave up on the idea and ended up focusing on other things and getting my life in order.

     Recently, I was hanging out with a friend of mine. We were hanging out in my room talking and catching eachother up on what's been going on over the past week or two. I told her how I was stressing out about finding a new job and how I was struggling to find something that provided good hours and pay. I jokingly talked about how I wish It was possible for me to find a job in Hawaii and the all of the sudden I knew what I needed to do to make that happen. I searched online for a live-in nanny job. It was the first job that popped up and it was an amazing, once in a life time opportunity. I told my friend about it and I called to tell my parents as well. After talking to them, I knew I had to apply for the job, even if it was a long shot. I was brace and took a chance. Within 4 hours, I heard back from the family that I applied for and they wanted to INTERVIEW ME! How crazy is that!? I interviewed with the family via FaceTime and it went really well because a few days later, I got a call and the job was mine! I'm moving to Hawaii!!

Time next month I will be in Hawaii with my mom, moving into my new place that I will be living in for the next year or so. It's crazy to think about! The last few years, I've seen all of my friends have exciting and amazing things happen to them. They graduate from college, get really important jobs, they move, get married, have babies....the biggest thing for me was moving 20 minutes away from home and living with my sister, but still, it's be hard seeing these great things happening to others and I feel like I've been waiting for forever for something big and exciting to happen to me. I know things happen for a reason and I know that a year ago, I wouldn't have been ready for a big move like this. I have grown so much this past year. I'm ready. I'm ready for this big adventure that I'm about to experience. I can't believe it's happening!

I have a lot to do and people to see before I leave. It's bittersweet, but I know I will be back to visit soon. Subscribe my blog and follow me on social media to stay updated on my adventures in Hawaii.
