I’ve been trying to hold it in until I sign the actual contract next week, but I couldn’t wait any longer.  On Friday I got offered the job I interviewed for in the DC area earlier this month! I will be working at George Mason University and start in in late March. They have been super supportive of my Marathon and were flexible with my start date to accommodate that.  This position is a step up on the career ladder and with a slightly more academic shift (aka more of a 9-5 job as opposed to my crazy hours).  It feels so good to be WANTED after not getting other jobs in the past. However I feel so at peace with this choice. I’m ready for this move and the timing is truly perfect. It is very bittersweet to leave my current job. I love my coworkers and students, but I am excited to move to a city and be SO MUCH CLOSER to friends and family. Thank you so much for all your thoughts, prayers and support. I look forward to this new adventure. Where are my DC/NoVa people at? *If you know me in real life, please keep the exciting news to yourself until I make a public announcement once it’s all 100% officially official!
