In December 2014, when my mom told me that she is going to move to Texas in January 2015. That moment, I knew that I will have to move to somewhere else and chose not to move to Texas with her. I thought of Colorado as how much I want to move back because of my friends live there. So I started to apply for jobs there which is the hardest part. Then I already bought the plane ticket, rent a car, stay at my friend's house for two days, and then reserve the hotel room. I had everything set in plan.
First week of January 2015, I flew to Denver to do the job interview. The only thing is that I had two job interviews there and I did call and apply few places but I had no luck. Also I did meet some roommate that I was plan to live. However, when I drove in Denver to get the feeling. You know the feeling that where you should be. I did not get any feeling when I drove around in Denver as to get to know. I had second thought that I should not be in Colorado for a while. I came back to Utah with little disappointment but didn't give up yet. I had to go back and regroup to figure out the plans.
But a week later, my brother had offer me a place to stay. ONE thing, my brother live in Kentucky which is pretty far away. I had to come to make the tough decision. I do really want to move to Colorado so badly but when I visited there. I didn't have any good support system there. I felt that I was pretty much lonely there. But at the same time, I am starting new life in Kentucky and meeting new people which I am not that type of person to meet new people. Since I am very introvert. I wrote down the pro and con to make the decision. I made the decision to move to Kentucky as not moving to Colorado. I felt the timing was not right.
I started to apply the jobs in Kentucky. I did get more calls than I excepted. I did apply jobs in Colorado and I didn't get a lot of call from them that much as I get from Kentucky. Then I had tough decision was to quit my job and go ahead to move to Kentucky with no jobs. But I ended up ask my dad to see if he can buy me a flight ticket for me to get interview and hope to get a job. My dad did ended up bought the ticket for me. I did flew to Kentucky for fours days. I had two interviews per day which is six interviews, which it was good. I did drive around in Louisville and some in Lexington, Kentucky. That point it hit me that I knew this is the place where I should be. I felt more comfortable to live in Kentucky. I do remember that I always want to live in Kentucky but never in right time. Now it is the right time to live and be much closer to my Dad and my brother.
I know myself that I will be moving to Kentucky with no jobs, but I do have faith in myself that I will get job soon once I live in Kentucky which it could be much easier. Wish me luck for this journey. Keep eye for more blogs when I am settle down.
