a little update...

So i found myself wandering the endless walls of the internet over the many hours of today. it kind of reminds me of that commercial that used to be on TV where the guy is surfing the internet and a pop-up screen says "YOU'VE REACHED THE END" ...it makes me laugh everytime i see it. hahaha.

anyway, i have a brief update for the family i don't get to talk to on a weekly basis...which is pretty much everyone except mom. life has been crazy in florida...and if you didn't make it to visit me, you might not get to.

in the last two months, my life has been changing like you wouldn't believe. it's amazing what becomes important to an individual when you move 1,000 miles away from home without friends or family nearby to keep you going. basically what it boils down to is that i'm trying to move back to MI. as my internship was coming to an end, i was in a hurry to take on a full-time job so i wasn't sitting without money to support myself once the internship was over at the end of april...which by the way is right around the corner. so i had been looking for a full-time job which would be good experience that would be nearby so i wouldn't have to pick up and move or have to drive across town and spend an outrageous amount of money on gas. so at the end of february, i took a full-time position as an event coordinator. i thought this was going to be a wonderful position and i was really going to like it. it turns out that i spend about 6 out of 8 hours every day alone. usually setting rooms or working by myself in my cubicle. because the pay isn't GREAT i can't see myself working in the position for too much longer.

i've talked to mom and dad about possibly moving back to MI...because that's where i want to be...closer to home. let's be honest...i really do miss you guys!! i've done a lot of contemplating over the past month or two--let's think about this...i spend all hours of the day by myself...i have a lot of time to think about life and where i want to be living and what i want to pursue. i can't believe how much one person can change her mind about what she wants to do...since i left high school, i'm pretty sure i've been set on AT LEAST 6 different careers. too bad i didn't have it all figured out like mike and john...farmer, doctor. oh well...that's life.

anyway, i'm flying home for justin morel's wedding the first weekend of may. while i'm home i will be interviewing for a restaurant management position. as of now, there are three positions available with this company--one in ann arbor, big rapids, and detroit. there might be an opening in midland this summer. i'm really looking forward to this interview and i pray to God every night before i sleep to guide me to where i need to be.

that's about all for now. i just wanted to let ya'll know what's really going on in my life. i'm very excited to come home for four days...even though i'll be at a wedding and in mt. pleasant for some of the time. hopefully we can all get together and have dinner or something.

miss you and take care,
