notice of a new start

There are so many things that I love. Sadly, my job is not one of them. So today I finally did something about it; I gave my notice. And I can't remember the last time I felt so good.

I am a corporate lawyer in "biglaw", at least for thirteen more days. I have spent three years at my firm, and now it is time to move on.

My husband and I will move to Vermont (from Chicago) in the next year or so. His parents live there, we got married there, and during the summer of our wedding my parents became so entranced with the state that they bought a place there as well. And with siblings in New York and D.C., it's time to move to the east coast. Aside from proximity to family, we simply love it in Vermont. The people, lakes, mountains, skiing, hiking, and everything outdoors = bliss.

Before the move I have to get some things in order, hence needing to leave my job. First matter of business: take the Vermont bar exam. Second: complete the internship required to become licensed in Vermont. On May 27th, I will start my second BARBRI class and embark on the road towards Vermont.

So now, with all of you, I begin my ascent out of corporate law into happiness. Follow me while I settle in on my journey, and find ways to love life again - through baking, sewing, travelling, camping, cake decorating, and living and loving my husband, friends, family and little fluffball of a dog.

Thanks for coming along.
