The Beginning??

This journey obviously started before the blog commenced. So a little history.

I worked at a job I loved so much for eight years at St, Joseph's Catholic Community and as it happened everywhere at that time my job was downsized. I was cut to working 7.5 hours a week.I was looking for work, but so was everyone else in California. Two years passed ,tons of applications and I had some interviews. I learned that every job I applied for another 75-100 people applied too. We talked about moving to some place cheaper, but we didn't have the savings to move or the promise of a job offer, both things we needed to move. Especially the guaranteed job.

And then I got a job! It was part-time, but such a great position. I really liked them and they really liked me!! I ended up working for SCCAR, Liked became loved for me, such a great job!


My husband worked for Bayside Center, a day program for adults with developmental disabilities. A job he loved, but unfortunately didn't pay well and had no benefits.


Sadly, Santa Cruz and a lot of Cali is way crazy where the cost of living is concerned and we will never live more than month to month there. So a friend offered Christer an opportunity for employment in Greensboro NC that offers a great beginning, Rent is freakin' cheap. Christer has promised me in two years we will be able to afford to buy a home.

Ironically, we both left jobs we loved more than anything else. My husband left a job that is his passion. He is so good at it!


I have never left a job I loved so much, but so it goes. Adventure is on the horizon!
