a quick seattle visit

I flew out to Seattle on Wednesday for an interview. While the interview didn't go entirely as I had hoped, I was hugely happy to visit. It was wonderful to see all of my friends!! Thanks to those who were able to make it out to dinner tonight, it was fabulous to see you and catch up with you :)

It is interesting where life takes you. Right now, I am literally looking for jobs all over the world but my network and job search led me to an interview here. And maybe it didn't go to plan, but then when catching up with friends someone mentioned a possible option for me, also in Seattle. So who knows where I will end up but things do like to point towards here ;)

Now I am headed back to Little Rock and I am looking forward to seeing some of my cousins and celebrating ones bachelorette night! I must say, while its not something I am used to, it is fabulous to be able to participate in family occasions such as this. My family and friends are amazing and I love them all (and everywhere they are)!

Recently I have been very inspired by Lee Safar and her Dream Angel posts. She was an amazing singer that I met in Sydney and I would love for those of you still reading to check out her inspirational posts. You can find them on both her artist website http://www.leesafar.com/ or her Dream Angel website http://www.dreamangelnetwork.com/.

Hugs and Love!

on the job hunt

So I've been back in the states for a bit now and my time has been mostly dedicated to job hunting, which can be most boring. However, I have also been able to spend some time with dear friends. First, I had the pleasure of staying with my friend Jamie and her fiancee Alec at their new home. It was wonderful to catch up with Jamie and get to know the love of her life a little bit better. While there I also helped set up and clean up around the house. This included increasing my knowledge of dryers and wireless internet systems :) And to top it off, Jamie and I ran in the Indy 500 mini-marathon. We ran on a blustery and cold Saturday morning but we did it, we finished 13.1 miles :)

Before - Friends through and through :)

After - brrrrr all that energy running and I can't stay warm

Now I've mentioned the job hunt...so not my most favorite topic, but it has been moving along. I had an interview with a boarding high school in Arkansas that I am still waiting to hear back from, and recently I had a phone discussion with a recruiting agency in Seattle. I'm now planning a trip to Seattle so that I can meet with them in person and hopefully wow the socks off them. In the meantime though I have secured a part time sales job that would start after my trip at one of my favorite shopping locals :) But if you know of any great jobs for me, please let me know as I would be happy to look into them. I'm currently hoping to move my career into recruiting for the engineering industry, but I am also considering test engineering jobs as well.

Other than that, I am adjusting to the approaching summer in the south (aka warmer here already than it will probably get in Seattle for months!). And I'm helping out with the political season since I have a very politically involved family :) Its fun to be able to support those that you love dearly and see them (hopefully) succeed!

Hugs & Love!

Back in the USA

Wow...I'm back in the good ol' US of A and not sure if it really is worth keeping up the blog. Any requests on topics? Maybe I'll just let you know about dream trips or next trips or you let me know what you want to do next and I'll look into it like your very own travel agent. What do you think? I need input to keep going.
