Stop the Roller Coaster I want to get off...

So what have I been doing for the last 2 years you ask??? More like what have I not been doing! Last time I posted I had just started working at the Cape May County Zoo in their education department's zoo camp. Long story short they asked me to stay on for the full 6 month position and it was awesome! I did accomplish ALL of my goals! I held 2 snakes (pictures will be posted at a later date for those of you who don't believe me!!!!) Like I said it was a great experience and I was sad to see it end but it was time for me to move on...although one of the BEST things to come out of that experience was that I met one of my very best friends there and I CANNOT wait to be in her wedding next month!!! I am so glad we just looked at each other and were like "yeah we're best friends now!"Anyways after that experience I found myself back at the daycare...I was a maternity sub but it did not happen the way I was told it was going to but that's an entirely different story. I worked at that place off and one for almost 10 years and let me tell you as much as I LOVED the kids going to work everyday was not fun for me at all! I could not wait to leave that place at the end of the day and I was counting down the hours until I could go home as soon as I got there each day! Not very fun for a job. Thankfully my dream job (well the stepping stone to eventually achieve my dream job) opened up and I applied.

After a phone interview, an in person interview, and a presentation I GOT THE JOB!!!! It was even more special to me because the job was in my home county! So I started there last October it was a learning curve for me because I now had to be the 4-H Staff member instead of the 4-H member but I have accomplished a lot. I survived my first fair no problem and I have taken on some new leadership roles within the state. I am excited to see what the next year has in store for me. I have even started pursuing my Master's Degree so that I may continue on and achieve my dreams of becoming a 4-H Agent someday.

The past year has been pretty crazy I have gone through a roller coaster of emotions and ups and downs long the way and I have wanted to get off a couple of times but I am glad I stayed on! I am on my way to Making the Best Better One Day at a Time!

I am back...for real this time!

The last time I posted something on my blog was about 2 years ago!!! I thought I was going to keep up with it then but life got in the way and it did not happen. As I was reading through my old blog posts for inspiration for one of my graduate classes a light bulb went off in my head. I was trying too hard on what to write about and that is why I hit a dead end before. What does that mean? From here on out my blog is going to be fun things...different things I have learned along the way in the past few years since I was in college, the fun things I do, the antics that go on in the world of 4-H, funny stories, basically it is just going to be what happens in my life and what I learn from it! Blogging is a great way to document things and ideas and look back on them in the future. If no one reads it that's okay I am doing it for myself! So if you are a reader of my blog THANK YOU!!!

Alright people buckle up it's going to be a bumpy ride....
