I'm Still Here!

Argh! My computer died for about two weeks but thankfully my husband was able to figure out what was wrong and fix it. I'm so happy I didn't have to pay for repairs.

Now that everything is back up and running properly you can expect that we'll wrap up the behind the blog series in the next few weeks.

Also, I'm getting caught up with the August book review.

And...I have big news to share.

No. I am NOT pregnant.

We have new  teaching jobs and will be moving to a new city sometime in the next 2-3 weeks.

We're moving to Mokpo, South Korea. It's much smaller than the city we live in now and I'm so excited. I believe it has 250,000 people and where we are now has about 3.5 million.

And, huge bonus for me, it's on the coast!

I'm so excited to see what the next year olds for us.

Praise God for blessing us with new jobs and a home.

Jane of All Trades

I've held quite a few jobs, but I can't really say I have a career. I graduated college about 3.5 years ago and I majored in Creative and Professional Writing.

I love writing and I want to make a career of it. I can't imagine going to school for something different. I think those 4 years really helped me to hone my skills.

I've been a baseball scorekeeper, concession stand worker, cashier, freelance writer, customer service rep and legal assistant. Now, I'm teaching English. I do not foresee myself continuing to teach once we return to the States. (Although. I have tinkered with the idea of teaching Pre-K.)

I love to learn new skills and have many interests, so its been hard for me to pick something that holds my interest and I feel I can commit to for a long period of time. That being said, my two favorite jobs have been working as a legal assistant and a freelance writer.

So, I'm in the perfect phase of my life to consider what career I would like to enter into. At the moment, I have a couple of dreams mashed together.

1. I would like to have a substantial amount of my income come from freelance writing. Yeah, I know, this isn't really a "new" career but one I've wanted to truly break into for a while. In the past, I've picked up side jobs here and there.

2. I would like to own a bakery. I'm not entirely sure I'd want to be the 5am baker, but I like to create flavor combinations, and design marketing.

3. I think I would also like to go into event planning. I really enjoy putting together events. I like to plan menus and decorations.
