Baaaaaaaaaaaaack. For reals this time!

I will be the first to admit that I am a lame blogger. I have all of these great blogging pipe dreams, but never follow through. I don’t even know who reads this, but it is nice to know that there is someone, anyone out there who reads my words. ☺

An update of my life – I am still working at the College of Business at the University of Tennessee. I love my job – even though I am just an assistant, I feel as though I am connected to so many of the students.

I am still wanting to go back to school. I am aiming for my masters in Library Sciences – I would love to get involved with promoting literacy in children. That is my main goal. Though, my first step – I would love to focus in records and archiving. Then – get a job with a large theatre (Hellooooooo Met!) and work in their archival department. I could totally see myself wading through ancient photographs and creating digital libraries!

Other than that – not much is going on. Adjusting to single life again, finding myself and realizing what an awesome person I am. ;) There is definitely something to be said for being on one’s own after a long relationship. You don’t realize what you sacrifice of yourself when you are in the moment. Though, totally worth it. ☺ Just because a relationship doesn’t work out in the end, there are 6 whole years of good memories that I will never discard.

Knoxville has been interesting these last few months. I live in an adorable apartment. I just need to finish unpacking it. (yes, I have lived here since June – what’s it to you?!) I have a new comforter, new curtains, new desk (actually… my grandfathers from the 50s, new to me!) and new friends!

I have become really active in my church (http://knoxvilleascension.org) and met a lot of really great people. I am involved in the LAMBS ministry which is all about pets. For St. Frances day, we had a blessing of the animals. It was great! I love being active in a community like this! Church life was something I never expected for my life – I was originally just becoming a member so that my fiancée and I could get married in the church - but it was a pleasant surprise when it turned into more. I still hold on to my previous beliefs, but there is nothing wrong about adding on. I would consider myself Episcopagan. ☺ As a man once said… “can’t we all just get along?!”

I will sign off for now – but let me post some blog ideas here. I will create them AND post them! Now that I am posting them here… it is a promise that they will come up. If they do not come up in the next month, I give you full permission to come to TN and force me to type. ☺

(in no particular order)
1. Introduction of my furry family.
2. My new apartment.
3. Race for the cure.
4. Knoxville.
5. Funny memories from my childhood (WITH pictures)
6. High School memories (with pictures… sorry guys!)
7. College – GC&SU – the early years!
8. College – NCSA
9. Sewing and Cake Decorating Classes
10. Books I am currently infatuated with.



That’s 10 in 30 days… I think it is totally doable. Look… giving myself goals. So grown up. ☺

A picture to tide you over.... Maggie being helpful. (Please excuse the mess... it was a rough time. :) )
