How it's going to Be.

Thank you Third Eye Blind for letting me see things in a different way. You got me off my ass this morning and I am starting to see the humor in this new way of life.


I'm making things. Even if it's just for me.

I went on a date this weekend and it made me realize how much life I have in me.

I am new. I am ready to be something big.

"to every young person listening tonight who's contemplating their career choice: If you want to make a difference in the life of our nation; if you want to make a difference in the life of a child – become a teacher. Your country needs you."


Mr. President, you addressed something I've been fighting with for a long time. Where you speaking to me directly? As a young person, who appears to be having a difficult time choosing a career is this what I should do?

My bigger problem is not that I can't "choose" a career. I'm having a hard time even finding one that I can make happen. Two whole months of job applications and I've been on one interview for a retail position that I won't get because I'm over-qualified...

But that teaching position always pops up in my search. "Be a science teacher" it whispers. I've been down this road before and it didn't feel right. Was it just bad timing? Wrong city? Wrong kids?

Where will that take me? I'll have a masters in education and then what. I still feel like I'll be looking for something else. Like what I really want is still out there somewhere. What is it.....

Teenage Wasteland

It feels so good to write something that is not a cover letter.

I thought by now, I'd be working. Even if it was a job I didn't want.

Strangely, because of all the time I have and no extra money I've been reverting back to activities that used to occupy me as a teenager. Like playing the guitar, uploading cd's into iTunes, watching American Idol, and drawing. It's been kind of a good thing for me?

Oh Etsy. I love you.

Just what I was looking for! I'll probably have her make some without the netting though...

Perfect for a strapless dress... So darling.


We are so thankful for the time we have before the wedding. We are just enjoying the excitement of our engagement and it's really making the wedding feel so special. I'm also liking that I can take my time and get every detail perfect. :)
