New Adventure


Hey family - just an update from Billings. Two weeks ago I accepted a management position in New York Life's Stockton General Office.  Located in the foreclosure and high crime California city of Stockton, the office is about twice the size of Montana and should be a fun challenge to take over.  While Stockton may not be the best place, the surrounding NorCal area has a ton of things to do and I'm looking forward to exploring some new territory.  (I'm looking at living in Lodi, CA - home to 8 wineries including the Sutter Home winery and much safer.)

While I'm sad to be leaving MT, family, friends, and an awesome cousin/roommate I'm looking forward to a new adventure and warm weather year round.  It should be an experience.

Hope all is well with everyone else and love you all.

Nate

That is exciting! It is never easy leaving places that you have grown to love, but the adventure of what lies ahead is always worth it! I hope you have a great time in CA and looking forward to seeing you in the summer, hopefully.

Congrats on your advancement, Nate. I'm sure everyone in Billings will miss you, but now they have an excuse to visit California. (expecially the wine country). And you are close to San Francisco--what fun!
