As of last Monday, I gave my notice at REM. This comes with a lot of emotions. For along time, this was just an idea I had. An idea that many people laughed at, or became concerned when I told them where I was going.
All things aside, my last day with REM is June 13, 2014. Although, I must admit-I never thought this day would come. This company has given me opportunities to grow, both professionally and personally. REM has given me avenues to meet people, who I can now call my friends. People who have taught me WAY more than how to work with people of different abilities. Lasting friendships. Lasting lessons.
As I prepare for my last 30 days, I look back at my time. When I first started, I had just graduated college and took the job with REM as transitional job. I wasn't going to stay long, but I was going to be able to pay the bills. After six months, I fell in love with the people. I was hooked. Here I am three years later, preparing to say good-bye.
After I gave my 30 day notice, I realized that leaving my job was the simple part. I had so many other things I needed/had to accomplish. I need to sell everything in my apartment, cleaning, rehome my cats, and sort through the emotional mess change makes me. If you know me well, you know I procrastinate. I guess it is time to say, I have procrastinated long enough- and have started to get rid of my things.
As if this isn't enough, Edgar has 30 days before he joins his family back in Honduras. I am so excited for him to go home, and be with his family. I will join him, 90 days he leaves, in September.
I told you I loved count downs.
Please continue to pray that the transition to my summer location goes well. Please continue to pray for Edgar's transition to his family. Please pray as we begin to look for jobs in Honduras. We trust that God is at the center of our life's, and he will lead us.
God's peace be with you.
Kayla
