Unemployed!

Thursday was my last day at my corporate job. When I started work at DwellStudio, there were 4 of us and I was the freelance bookkeeper. I left a 30-person organization as the Controller and HR Director. On a corporate career level, that's a hard position to just walk away from. But as a mom who wants to stay at home and start her own business, it was easy. I was sad on Friday morning that I would not be seeing the same faces and confronting the same challenges. I had a routine that I was familiar with and a job that pushed me and that I learned from. I worked for a company that, although crazy and stressful, I genuinely liked. I started to doubt my decision to leave. But when I saw my daughter's sleeping face, I knew I had made the right decision. I would much rather spend every day with this small person than away from her in an office.

I will miss the view from my office, though. Especially during snow storms and sun rises. It's rare to get to see so much sky in NYC. I'll just have to find a new view!

I Left My Heart in San Francisco

A while back, I promised some exciting news. Well, it's completely official - we are moving to San Francisco. We put our apartment on the market, sold it, and found an apartment in SF. We found the apartment yesterday, so I feel like it's really happening. We will be living about 1 mile from one of my dearest friends, Anne, who I hardly ever talk to anymore. It makes me so sad that we have slipped out of our very regular phone calls (all my fault with baby and work), but am so happy that we will be sharing dog walks and coffees once again. We will be living in my old zip code of 94107!!!

We will have a dog run, biking, walks along the water, fog, farmer's market, Rainbow Grocery, Crissie Field, Fort Funston, trips to the Russian River to visit another dear friend, burritos, trips to LA to see the in-laws, really good coffee (easier to find in SF than NYC), friends in the Mission (more bicycles!), NYC transplant friends in Alamo Square, South Park (bread salad and swings!), sculling on the bay, friends on Potrero Hill.

Also, there have been a couple more Etsy sales, so I feel like that is going to be successful (with a lot more hard work), and I just might be able to pull this work-at-home-mom thing. It's what I want most.

I am so happy. So very very happy.
