The Party Pad

So, in case you didn't know, I have decided to accept a year long internship with SpringHill Camps Indiana where I will be a staff recruiter for both this and next summer. I am contracted to be working here until August of 2012 and am really looking forward to it. God has really been preparing me throughout this process and I have been blessed to have the Christian influences and friends here surrounding me. Even though one of my good friends will be leaving (who I am filling in for), this is a good opportunity for both he and his wife to move back closer to some family.

It's nice to see this every morning!

As of right now, I am holding up in what we call our 'Tree Houses.' I am in Tree House #4 and needless to say, it is my party pad. I have enjoyed the experiences of new smells a house may bring, mice in the walls, and cockroaches falling on me from the ceiling in my sleep. You know, typical new house things. Regardless, I am very blessed to have an opportunity to stay employed for another year with this ministry before I embark on any new adventures.

"The Party/Bachelor Pad"

This has been cleaned up...

All around, I love my job. Even though it is definitely tough at times to say no to potential candidates, I understand that my responsibilities as a spiritual leader are to help fulfill and further prepare our Father's kingdom in any way possible. So, that is at least comforting to know that I can say I am truly doing something that will help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Here are some pictures of the cockroach (a.k.a. 'Roachie'), and a battle-wound from working on the resident staff office! I was put in charge of tearing all of this down this week and I like to think that I did a good job. I will be sure to post when I have finished the rest of the work.

Look at my little man!

Is he dreamin' or poo'n?? Ahhh who cares! Whatever he's doing, he's doing it "LIKE A BOSS!"

My Immune System Failed Me...

So, I have been trying to avoid this cough/flu for the past two weeks. I seemed to be doing a good job at avoiding but this week, it finally caught me. I first survived Sarah and Anna's first wave of attack. Next was mom. It was difficult but I managed to avoid her bug as well. Next is what I think finally did me in. I had a day in the office with a company I have been interviewing with for the past two weeks. The girl I spent the day with also had this cough/flu... she gave it to me. Finally, I have started to feel a little better and decided to go to a movie with my friend, who also had the cough/flu. She made it worse... Thanks a lot immune system. I had so much faith in you until now.

I guess if there was one thing that I could take positive from this experience, I would say that The Price is Right on Facebook showed pity on me tonight, allowing me to win both showcases. Taking $76,000 dollars of prize money from them felt pretty good.

What now Drew Carey? I own you.

The dreaded job hunt...

I figured that since I am now done with school, I can now start doing some more blogging so that you all will be able to keep up with my life!

This past Friday, I had a job interview in Columbus, OH and it actually went very well. Even though this doesn't currently seem to be the right fit for me, it was nice to just have some interviewing experience. I have another interview this coming Thursday so I am definitely looking forward to seeing how that one goes. This next interview is located in Indianapolis and seems like it is going to be a pretty cool company.

Overall, this past week was very productive. I was able to find some different leads through a connection with Purdue which will help me out in this grueling, not so fun time. Surprisingly, I am not worried about this at all. I know I am going to find something. I just want to make sure that I make the right decision for me and not just settle.

Either way, there are a few perks...
-It's very nice to not have to go to school anymore
-I am now a Purdue Alumni
-Someone is going to finally pay me for my educated brain
