Welcome aboard everyone, hope you enjoy the ride,
So I have had the privilege of living on the island of maui for the past four years of my life.
For the first two years I lived there, it was four months at a time, because i was going home to sunny Southern California for the winter/summer seasons.
For the past two years, I was a solid resident.
Everyone still with me? I think I made it clear ;)
I have gotten to live a dream life, as most would put it.
Reasons?? Well... I met my husband on maui, at church of course!
We got to date and have our first two newlywed years together there - it was truly amazing in every way.
I definitely feel like we saturated ourselves of Maui and got to live our time there to the fullest, doing almost every activity there! It was almost like vacation except for the fact that we both had full time jobs, wah-wah-wah that's reality!
I feel like I grew up a lot on Maui - from age 19-23: A chunk of my young adult life.
The husband and I have been wanting to move back to the "mainland" as we call it, for quite some time and finally an opportunity has arrived for us.
My husband got an awesome job offer, basically the job of his dreams, in a little town (literally a LITTLE TOWN) in Oregon.
Soooo six months later, I find myself here... sitting in this Starbucks... in the middle of nowhere.... writing to you. Whoever you may be.
I find myself at a crossroad.
I'm still my fun-loving self, but Maui changed me. The interests I had didn't work out there, because there's no professional theater or performing there (other than hula), so I went into retail. Learned SO much, gained a ton of experience, and now I'm very confident as a sales person and in management positions (promoted within a month baby!)
But anyways, now I find myself in this tiny little town, wondering who I am and what I want and how that will work here - other than an eventual family that I'm not ready for at this moment. (Soon Mom, I promise!)
I am an ambitious person. I thrive on creativity and love enjoying life!
I make an effort to live to my fullest potential in every way; I want to push myself and grow, spiritually, emotionally, the whole enchilada!
I fully believe in Jesus, and I trust Him with my life. He has led me thus far, so I know that He has something for me. However, I can be impatient, and sometimes I want to know everything that is going to happen to me before it happens - Okay, ALL the times!
Anyhow, I got to drive through a wheat field today, and there was something freeing about that.
Country life is new and interesting to me! Life in general is an adventure and I want to share my fresh perspective to you. This is fun for those who do not know what it is like (shout out to my California/Maui peeps!), but also for the ones who have grown up in the country - my perspectives have to be humorous at least!
Suburb/Island girl is in the country, and she's figuring out where she fits in.
Time will tell... and blogging!
I will be posting often because things happen to me!
I am one of those people!
Join me, my ups and downs, and my figuring out of life,
I am #theneworegonian and these are my stories.
