Kansas here I come!

Welll....I think I've called just about everyone that I can think of to call, so I can now post to my blog. I was offered a job on Monday! I'm way excited! It's with the National Weather Service in Wichita, Kansas!

I couldn't have asked for a better office to start in. I'm so excited to get a job with the NWS, and it being in Wichita, KS is just icing on the cake! I fully expected this process to take about 6 months and then be in the middle of tin-buck-two. But NO! This is a dream location for me!
-It's only 4 hours from home, which is the closest I've
lived to home since 2001.
-It's only 2.5 hours from my awesome friends in Norman.
-It's in a bigger city, so I don't have to loose my city things
-It's in the Plains!!! I've missed it so dearly when I was in the east coast
-The office is amazing, filled with amazing people! I'm excited to work with
I'm sure that's not it, but it's all I could come up with right now.

So far my start date is early December, so I'll be there for the Christmas Holiday, but because I'm so close to home I won't have any problem getting home to see the family when I do have off!

So basically I will be a new resident of Kansas. I can say that I never thought I'd be a resident of Kansas, but I'm happy to be. The next few months will be great fun and also some what nerve racking and scary I'm sure. I'm excited to go find another new place to live, as well as joining the "real" working world. It will be weird to not be in school, but I haven't been in school all semester and it hasn't been to bad....however, it just seems like summer break or something to me. I'm going to enjoy leaving work at work and not having any extra things to do when I get home.

So if you ever find yourself driving through Wichita, KS, be sure to give me a shout.

Much love!
