I am SUPER excited to announce I got my first job!! I think I might have finally found my little niche actually. I'm working at a place that helps elderly people with their everyday tasks and care. These patients typically have dementia type issues and just need an extra hand and I feel soooo good about what I'm doing. I don't know how I could ever do a job that doesn't help anyone. I kinda sorta tried a "sales" job and it felt so wrong I was completely stressed and couldn't live with all the thoughts running through my head.
Not only am I doing that job but I've been volunteering with a hospice and it's been such a cool experience. I can't wait to delve more into it. I feel so much better about my life and feel such a positive change not just because of the job but a lot of other factors too. For instance, I feel ok about my love life, my friendships, etc. too. I'm honestly fine when it comes to me ex which was a really hard process for me and it's great that I can get through my days without crying out thinking about a time when I thought everything was perfect. I feel like with if "Prince Charming" came a long I could honestly give him my full heart instead of just the pieces left from my past. But at the same time, I'm totally fine being by myself. I still have fun, I can do whatever I want, and I'm satisfied where I'm at. That's a big step.
I have the "travel bug" and want to go somewhere big like Ireland or Montreal or something and stay there for awhile. I might look into a travel abroad program with ASU since I'll be there full time next semester. 18 credits...not bad! I should be done with my Bachelor's by Fall 2012 or Spring 2013. Either way it's not that far and I'm excited for some of the classes I've looked into.
So what does everyone (all 8 of you haha) think about the whole Royal Wedding hype? I think it's cool that someone from a "middle-class" life gets to marry a prince. A sexy British one at that, hehe! That would suck to have to be in the limelight all the time though. I couldn't handle all that attention especially when it's involving something private like my relationship. I think Kate handles it very well though. Seeing all the coverage on TV makes me want to go to London too. So much to see and I didn't get to see everything I originally wanted to. No time! Maybe some other time....
I guess I better stop babbling and get to bed before I say something completely unintelligible. *Yawn* Goodnight.

Hey Ashly, I think you working for hospice is a wonderful experience. Just remember that you are dealing with the family decision that the loved one is going to die peacefully. I loved having hospice when my father in law went through the last stages of Alzeimer's. They were supportive and helped me cope with the final days.
Your idea of travel is wonderful. You need to experience the world around you. We just celebrated our 37th wedding anniversary and went on a fast 5 day tour to Spain, France and Italy. It was great. Yet my daughter who is 24yrs went to Italy for 10 days back packing and stayed at hostels. She had a blast. Do it, travel. Keep that smile and energy going so others can feel it and inspire them.
God Bless You
Marie :)
