Derby Day Approaches

I’m counting down the days until I fly home Friday for a week of vacation. It starts with the Derby party on Saturday and a busy week of fun to follow. Can’t wait! I know it will make me feel more homesick than I already am, but that is OK. Things haven’t worked out for me here in Texas and I have decided I want to come home to stay, whether it's with my current job or a new one. I have started the process already by taking the first of two certification tests yesterday that will help in the job hunt. I passed with flying colors! I am studying for the second test and will take it after my return from vacation. Then I will proceed with looking for jobs back home. Family and friends have been very supportive and I have received many offers of help. It is so wonderful to have people in your life who care about you. I feel truly lucky and look forward to the day that I am back where I belong.
