I decided to make the big move out to California. I just finished college last fall and I decided that if there was a time to get this out of my system, it was now. One of the first things that I did after arriving was get a job. I was able to find a teaching position rather quickly, which made me feel great about my decision to move. The next thing I needed was a place to live. I decided to use the California Phone book to find a realtor that could show me around. Finding a place on my own was too overwhelming. The realtor was very knowledgeable and helped me find a great place.
