The New Chapter
“I quit my job”. These are the exact words my dad told me. You would think he would put some cushion around that, but no that's not really how my family works.

I remember comparing it to a haunted house when I first got their. In fact I still do.
I have been living in Virginia for 3 years now and I can definitely say that my life has changed. I have so many stories and friends that have definitely affected my life and I’m truly grateful for that.
