It's official!

After much contemplation and decision and indecision and rethinking and planning and endless discussion, I have made up my mind about where to go when I graduate. As many of you know, the options most seriously considered were LA (back to the hometown area), Dallas (Drew has done a good job selling me on the city), and Washington DC.

My internship in Boston produced a full-time offer with PricewaterhouseCoopers that I have been working to transfer to another city. As of this morning, I have been officially accepted into the McLean, Virginia (DC Metro) office! Starting next fall, I will be working at Tyson's Corner. Anthropologie is 200 yards from the office. Beautiful.



In the next several months I'll have to figure out where to live and figure out how to move across the country. I think a trip out to DC will be in order. Because Steve works in the PCS group they told me I will have to work in the Core Tax group - for independence reasons they can't have siblings working in the same group. It would've been fun to have Steve as my boss (I think?) but I'm sure I'll still be able to see him. It will be so much fun living near the SAZband family!

I'm excited to finally have something solid to look forward to. Now I just need to finish my masters and take the CPA exam, ya know, no big deal...




P.S. Have you ever heard of this cool website polyvore.com? You can mix and match images from anywhere on the web, to create outfits, interior designs, or any kind of collage. It's quite a fun distration when you need to take a break from Word Whomp.

Wow what a new feeling to have some concrete plans and direction. Congrats. I want to come visit you and will conveniently lose my luggage and have to borrow all your cute clothes.

I think I'll come and not even bring luggage. Way to make a major life decision. I think it definatley means wonderful things are in store. Pun intended!
