I got good news today and wanted to share [View all]

I've been trying since last October to get a job in Washington state and I got great news today! I start my new job in Washington state next month! I am very excited to start my new job in a new place (never lived that far west or ever been to Washington so I am really looking forward to it). I'll let everyone know how things go once I get out there!
