The Pages are Turning in My Crazy Book of Life

About to land in Seattle!

     Well a lot has happened over the last month and a half that I have not updated this blog of my life. I no longer work with the same company as I had before, and I've discovered the "blessing" of becoming a personal contractor. I have become a promoter! I absolutely love it, I mean as much as I can love it for being a week in. I've already added Seattle, WA as a place to my list of places I've been and enjoyed. The weather is gorgeous here and the people are pretty nice as well. My so called southern accent doesn't exactly know what to do with itself. I've got a mixture of Louisiana, Washington, and Colorado (from some family that I've been staying with) and my voice sounds so funny after a day of promoting. Basically I distribute coupons for various events. (Think circus and ice performances)

Fishing with my dad before I left for WA.

     I am learning about how friendships and relationships with people stick more through traveling. Those that I really care about and spend most of my time talking to are not necessarily the people that I spent the majority of my time with when I wasn't away from home. Not that I really have a place to call home at this point. I've left my apartment, packed up all of my things, and I've decided to just visit family and friends for a while when I'm not working and to store the rest of my stuff. It makes it easier that I work for a month at a time and I'm off for a few weeks. Gives me time to travel, see my mom and grandparents, be around for my cousin's first baby when she needs me, without having to worry about an 8 hour shift before or afterwards. I will keep some updates going and I'll be a little more persistent in writing here!
