Day One.

Today, I woke up way too early and knew it would be a grumpy-let's-just-make-it-to-the-end-of-today day. Much to my surprise, it's ending quite nicely and the day was anything but. Sure,  I am stuck at work--but can you really consider it stuck when I am, in fact, blogging at this very moment (obviously O_o). And I am tired. And I wish I was at home with my husband, snuggling in bed because we are old people and like to go to bed at a decent hour and WOULD YOU TURN THAT RACKET DOWN?!

Ahem. The point is, today was a GOOD day. This morning I got to (and by "got to" I mean spent an ungodly amount of time trying to get them to cooperate) take a pregnancy announcement for my sister of my niece and nephews, which, bee-tee-dubs, turned out super adorable. And it was just so exciting because I will be aunt to number FOURTEEN (divided among several siblings, hello, my sister is not a Duggar). My sister and her chosen other half make adorable children, and while they do not like having their picture taken, always make for great photos. Maybe this kid will be different? One can hope.

After leaving, I went home with every intention to nap until I began planning out our yard sale for next week, which rocketed me into ideas about future events when I came up with a brilliant plan for the fall. From there, I spent the next few hours Googling, Facebooking, Pinteresting, and all the other ings you can think of until I realized how excited I was about all of this. Coming up with ideas about raising money for a cause so dear to my heart make me giddy with excitement.

I have been having so many doubts about this "career path" if you will that I have decided on, wondering if this degree will even get me anywhere because I have no clue what I want to do with it. When I decided to do my last internship for my degree at the CF Foundation chapter in Nashville, it was partly because I thought it would be fun, and partly because I thought it would be easy. Granted, I haven't even started yet and I have no clue how it's going to be. I am hopeful that it will be fun and easy. But I am also hopeful that it will teach me. Challenge me. Show me a path that I did not know I wanted to take. This kind of work may be nothing like what I was doing today, but I feel very strongly about getting it accomplished either way.
