It's a bittersweet time in my life.
My journey at WILM will come to an end next Thursday, as I have accepted a position at a TV station in a different market, outside of Delaware.
Looking back at the past four and a half years....whew. I got to cover a tornado, plane crashes, political races, Crown Princess Victoria's visit to Delaware, and I could go on and on and on. I even got to take a ride in a C-130. I'm a lucky girl. And I owe so much to WILM.
But I know that it's time to go. I've embraced so many new opportunities this past year--- teaching classes at Wilmington University, acting as advocacy coordinator with PanCAN, buying my first home--- and it's time to embrace this new opportunity as well.
I'm so excited for what the future holds. I don't think I've been able to wipe this smile off my face for about a week now. But it saddens me to think about what I'm leaving behind- some of my best friends.
Besides an amazing learning experience, WILM has introduced me to some friendships that will forever hold a special place in my heart. These people are not just my co-workers, but I consider some of them my best friends, like family. They've shown me compassion, supported me through difficult times, helped me along the way, and man, I'm going to miss them.
Mark Eichmann, Mark Fowser, John Watson (my J-Watt), Ted Efaw, Joe LeCompte, Johnnie LaMonica...leaving these people is the hardest part.
And there are a number of others who have made my time at WILM so special--- too many to name. Thank-you.
So with this chapter ending, it's time to look ahead....
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
