It's a wonderful life

I got the job in the cast glass studio!! I start on Tuesday :) I'll be starting off making molds and cutting glass, and they're going to teach me everything about cast glass, coldworking, welding and woodworking. Yay! It's my dream job! I will be working at Lundgren Monuments, who do memorials and monuments, architectural glass, and custom work. They're doing things that no one else in the country is doing in cast glass, mostly because it's a "pain in the ass," says the studio manager. I'm so excited! And it's in Fremont, a 10 minute bike ride from my apartment.

My last day of work at Sodexo was yesterday, and now I'm looking forward to a fun-filled 5 day weekend! Tonight is the lovely trance queen Kelly's birthday, and so we're going to celebrate the only way we know how: to dance our asses off! Tomorrow half the crew goes to Armin Van Buren in Portland and the other half of us are going to Prosperity in Wenatchee, a 2 day outdoor psytrance party in the middle of nowhere. Monday will most likely be spent recuperating, and Tuesday I begin my new job! Life can't get any better. Well, of course it can :)

Not to mention the fact that I ended it with my boyfriend. We just weren't right for each other. We didn't have anything in common and there just wasn't a connection. Once I realized that a deeper connection was possible, and that having things in common was probably a good thing in a lasting relationship, I knew what I had to do, and finally, did it. I feel like I let light back into my life again. I feel like I can finally breathe, can finally begin to take the time to create the life I dreamed about living in Seattle. It's beginning to take form, I can see the outlines of the picture, but the shading and colors have yet to be filled in. And that's okay. It takes time to create a work of art, you have to allow the splendor to enter you and consciously seek it and give it back.
