Wanderlust

Dear BlogFans:
I know I haven't been good to you. Summer finds me anywhere but in front of a computer if I can help it, so I've been negligent. I ask forgiveness. I also ask a giant favor:

Please help me totally revamp my life.

I'm talking change. Specifically, change in locale. I love Utah, but this itch to go somewhere new has reached fever status and my skin is starting to get all red and welty. So what I need from you is a hook-up. Please call in any resources you have to find me a new situation somewhere. I know the job market is bad. I know the cost of living anywhere awesome is much higher. I DON'T CARE. Operation Get Stef Out of Dodge begins now. Here is my criteria:

1) I must get paid. Or at least break even (I can't afford to go on a humantarian aid thing that costs thousands, sadly).
2) First priority goes to any opportunities out of the country.
3) I'm a little too sensible to pick up and move somewhere without a viable plan. So if you know of a job or internship somewhere, that would fit better than just a friggin sweet place to live.
4) I would like to leave tomorrow. AKA ASAP.
5) I'm a graphic designer, so if you hear of anything in that field, let me know. But I can also do flowers, write, work in the event industry, dance on hit television shows, I'm interested in non-profit companies, and lately I want to become a teacher. I know, what?
6) Um...please don't tell my boss about this post. I'm grateful for my current job, really....

That's pretty much it. So really, if you've heard of anything cool that's available, or if you have contact information for somebody who would know, send it all my way.

And here's a creepy little picture to help you understand how I'm feeling right now:

Stef,
Your middle name is wanderlust and you have done plenty of wandering in my opinion. You would miss us too much to go somewhere out of the country and for longer than and week or two so just get over it!!!
(where else can you audition for YTYCD?)

Oh my gosh I just barely posted something similar on my blog (like literally 2 minutes ago) and then read this post from you. Creepy.

I'm so glad I read this. I now know what I'll do for Mae's 18 month photos...give her a little glimpse into the future. Sadly, I have been cursed w/ not great jobs and have no hookups or I would have not had the crappy jobs I had. Good luck and don't leave please.

This is a bad idea. It's just a phase and then you'll realize that Utah is the bomb. Ya, the bomb. Better yet, just move to Davis County. Now that's change.

My children would miss their crazy aunt Stef a ton (and, so would I) but I say DO IT because you can!
