Changes

Sometimes things don't always end up the way you planned. I didn't get my big girl job at 22 with no debt... single and ready for fun. I will get my degree at 26 after a messy divorce and some college debt. I get angry sometimes when I think about how that is.... What I could have done. Stressing over the 4 years that I'm behind. I try to put it into perspective and realize that I learned so much from 19-25. I learned humility, I learned to stand up for myself, I learned how to truly care for someone rather than just myself. I got a big girl job this year, while still going to college working 50 hours a week. I hated it. So I put in my 2 weeks with a company I've been with for 3 1/2 years. It was a huge decision, but for some reason as soon as I made it I felt a weight lifted. I felt excitement I haven't felt for a long time. I felt a drive and need to perform again. SO on November 9 I will go back to serving people. I will make more money doing this than any professional career and I will love it. I'm excited and nervous for the future all at one time. At least I don't feel like I'm stuck in a black hole with no feeling or drive. The place I am going to work at is called Walker's Bluff. It's fine dining like I've never done. It's a winery with outdoor ice skating in the winter, carriage rides in the fall, and some amazing concerts. I'm nervous and excited and this will be great experience for when I can go to culinary school. To check it out go to walkersbluff.com.
