It's true. After 8 months in Seattle, I am returning to Denton, Texas, from whence I came. I had a whirlwind interview for a position at the University of North Texas (yep, same university too) while I was there last week (they squeezed me in, how nice) and got a call on Friday that I have been offered the position of Academic Advisor II in the College of Education.
Having searched for a job quite high and low here and come up short following several interviews (my last was the impressive and rare phone call rejection..."You were a close second...you really impressed everyone...the tipping point was that the person selected had more direct admissions experience..."), I must follow the job offer.
I have mixed feelings about leaving. Seattle has been interesting. There have been high moments and low moments. I have had many, many learning experiences. I'm glad I came.
I'm also glad to return to Texas. So, in the words of my friend Melissa, "I'm taking my ball, and I'm going home."

May I be the first (on the blog at least) to say...congratulations! They are obviously very discerning in their decision making.
Go get 'em, Pegs.
I can't say that I'm terribly disappointed. I was secretly hoping that you'd move closer to home. Yay! More Pegs time, I just know it! Though I hadn't gotten the chance to visit you in Seattle(which kinda sucks)....I don't think I've been to Denton yet, either... =) ROAD TRIP!!!
Congrats on the job, by the way! I'm so happy for you!
Congrats on the new job!! And congrats on moving back to the land of sunshine, Tex Mex and hotter than hell summers.
Hi Peggy,
I hope you find what you're looking for in life. Life can be so funny and unpredictable! Take care, Karina
