My New New Exciting Plan

Surprise, surprise—my plans changed again! Not only did I fail to log some of my summer adventures, but I also failed to move at the end of summer ‘09. It’s hard to believe that it has been over two years since I last posted (TWO YEARS!!!). When my job at the Sea Hag ended, I floated around a bit and bartended for a few months until I found a job at a bank in Newport, Oregon, which is commuting distance from Depoe Bay. I worked there for a year and really enjoyed my coworkers, but realized that I didn’t see a future for myself at the bank or on the Oregon coast. Finally I made the decision to set a date and move.

Because Depoe Bay is such a tourist town, there are a lot of seasonal job opportunities available. And even though I was leaving the bank, I wanted to stay for a few more months, save money, and enjoy the rest of my time in Depoe Bay. And since June, that is just what I’ve been doing. I work at the Chowder Bowl, which is a great family owned restaurant in Depoe Bay. But coming up here in about a week I am driving all the way to Pennsylvania. I bought a canopy shell for my truck and I’ve consolidated all of my stuff so that it fits in the back.

I’m excited to go but sad to leave this beautiful place and all the great people I’ve met here. It’s nice to be back on the blog and I’m looking forward to writing about my trip—thanks for reading!
