I keep thinking to myself that life is a rollercoaster and it is a ride, and the last 6 months or so have been exactly that. I relocated to Charleston thinking that was my new home for a long, long time. Well God proved me wrong, go figure. Within 9 months of living there, I was offered a job to move up in management with Dick's Sporting Goods and turned it down like twice. The third time I was offered this job (mind you I was looking into teaching again and no jobs were coming my way) I realized God was answering my prayers of things needed to change and I couldn't work hourly any more after being salaried for a long, long time. I realized I was Jonah and about to dive into the fish's mouth if I didn't take this opportunity. Well here I am 3 months later living in Anderson, SC and in management. I have to say it is very different from teaching and it is a new challenge. I found myself getting stuck in a rut with teaching as I became complacent and did not challenge myself because I taught for so long and it was like second nature. I am now older and being challenged in a new job force which is where I will be for a long while, but then again who knows what a year may bring. I love living in South Carolina for sure and enjoy what this job provides for me that I have not really had since coming back from Vienna which is the opportunity to travel! Those of you who know me know that I love to travel and love to go to new places. I also have some dear friends that I have made in Vienna within 2 hours and also some dear friends that I have had since college within 3 1/2 hours. This makes my heart full of joy. Also a pride and joy is the fact that I own my own furniture again. It is great knowing that everything in my apartment are pieces that I love and remind of different times in my life. Seriously is this a blog about looking back or what...yeah I am sometimes a sentimental schmuck but gotta love me anyway. So as I sit at my lovely desk with all sorts of memories surrounding me of my life adventures I am so excited about more adventures to come....stay tuned as I hope to keep this up better than I have. Thanks for being loyal followers of this wayward blogger....
