new beginnings!

happie news friends!

ive been offered, and accepted, a job with the Department of Child Services! I will be working as a Family Case Manager. This pretty much means that when there is a case of child neglect or abuse, I will be on scene/behind the scenes working to make sure to put a stop to it. It will be hard and emotional, and I'm sure to be stressed, but I'm ready for the challenge and the change and all i need is support. I'm tired of people telling me how awful and sad and hard that it's going to be - I'm aware that it's no easy task, but it doesn't really help me to hear about all the downs. I'm excited to make a difference. Who knows if I'll like it or not? All i can do is give it a try and hope for the best.

I'm going to be moving to indianapolis for the job, and i'm so pumped to be trying something new in a new place with new people. ive been beyond antsy lately and i feel like this will be a great was to satisfy the urge to take off from valpo.

I've also signed up to take the GREs again. I plan on getting a better score than my first time around in the hopes that grad school is on the way in my future.

i've been eating much much better and exercising just about every day. I've been switching it up with routines, bike rides, taking the dog out for walks, and even did a zumba class yesterday (which i LOVED and highly suggest). i plan on keeping it up because it makes me feel great.

It's raining and i love it. im laying around in my pjs, watching lord of the rings, and im totally satisfied.

ps: first incredibly uneventful movie from my phone to youtube. mainly i was just playing with it to see how it worked....ENJOY!!! haha
