time

1 year 2 months and 1 week ago i decided i wanted to be a nanny
8 months 1 week and 1 day ago i had my first interview with my nanny family
8 months and 1 day ago i got this job
i have been in san francisco for 6 months and 1 day

it's so insane to look ahead and think how long something is going to take then suddenly, it's gone. my plan was to be in san francisco for about 18 months. soon after i got here i had a little panic and thought "there is no way on earth that i can be away from home for a year and a half. that's crazy. i'm going home when my contract ends in august." but now that i'm half way through my contract, the thought of leaving this place in just the same amount of time that i've been here, literally makes me tear up. this family, these kids, this city have captured my heart. there is no way i'm coming home when my contract is up (sorry family).

i can't wait for the next year and what it is going to bring me. i have so much to look forward to. i've got a best friend getting married, bryan's 1 year mark (78 more days!), a trip to mexico, a trip to visit home and my best friend/ cousin coming home from her mission in september (already?!). and many more adventures that i don't even know about yet!

bring on the next 12 months with full force. 

(that's not a challenge karma, be nice)
