Bye Bye Peters

Today was my last day of work at C. F. Peters, the company I've been employed at for nearly three years. While part of me is very much relieved to not have a full time job to report to for my last two weeks in New York City, a much bigger part of me is humbled by the new chapter that lay before me. As I drove away from work for the last time today, my coastal relocation transitioned from being an abstract concept to a vast reality. It has finally begun to sink in. As exciting as it is, I can't help but feel a bit saddened. All big changes are just that - changes. In order to move forward we have to uproot ourselves, leave the comfort of friends and familiar streets behind in search of opportunities and experiences uknown. I most certainly will miss New York and all those I have met, but there is no turning back. And I am ready. :)

Our Route

Below is a google map that outlines our route. Markers indicate places we'll be spending the night (purple tacks are major cities, blue pointers are smaller places), trees are National Parks we are visiting on route. Click any marker to see detailed info including the town name, arrival dates, and photos. You can also view this map in its full version by clicking the link below it. The map updates in real time, so check back for any changes/tweaks. It's been a lot of fun planning. It turns out we'll be in San Francisco for pride weekend - LOL! Michaela is pumped. ;-)

Here we go again!

You followed me during summer of 2008 for my 6-week trip to Aspen. Now join me in 2009 as I relocate from New York City to Los Angeles. Yes, that's right - I'm moving to the west coast!! I was accepted into the USC Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television Program (link to the right). It is a huge honor, not to mention a huge investment. I'm pumped, excited, humbled, and slightly terrified. 

This blog will chronicle me, my car, my friend Michaela, and two weeks on the road. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you may even roll your eyes. Move date is June 16. I will be arriving in Los Angeles on July 1. Once there I will continue posting about my experiences in LA - apartment, neighborhood, school, people, etc. 

In the meantime I will be doing some pre-moving posting as we finalize our route and I ready myself and all my crap for the journey. I am super excited and can't wait to start sharing my adventure with all of you!
