Moving Out

I certainly never expected to be leaving Boston after just 10 months, but I don't really think that I could have predicted how this year in Boston would go. If I could have watched a movie of how the last 10 months would go before I left, I might have had second thoughts, but in retrospect, I wouldn't have not come. I learned a lot about myself and I don't think you can know how things will turn out until you go and live them.

And now I'm moving to Boulder to work at USA Ultimate with a boss that I really believe in and a cause that I love. I feel like I will be in the middle of all that is going on and that sounds really exciting. Of course I have to move again which is a pain, but somehow it feels easier this time b/c I've done it, I've learned from what worked and didn't work the first time and it's a necessary evil to get me to where I want to go.

Of course I'm heading into another unknown. Thinking about starting a new blog, but unsure what to name it. If you think about it, "Julia Does Boston" was an interesting choice for a title - it sounds so unpermanent, like I'm just trying it for a little while and then I'll move somewhere that I really want to live. Sadly, I do think this is how I felt. It's really hard to feel a part of a community when you know in the back of your mind the whole time that's it's not where you want to be five years from now.

I think Boulder will be different. I want to be at this job for more than a few years and I think it's a place and a community that I could really get into and be a part of.
