In an attempt to, like I previously said not tell the same story a million times, I am once again blogging about what is going on in my life. This is a awkward for me, and I hope more then anything I don't come across as a self-important d-bag. So here we go...
In my last post I said I was moving to PA to work at a camp and go on an adventure with no job or job security. Sadly my stupid adult brain has kicked in and the lack of job security and countless hours of job searching in which I am either over or unqualified for jobs, I basically had a MAJOR melt down, and have changed the plan. The plan is still go out for the summer and enjoy all that Paradise Farm Camps has to offer, and look for jobs.
HOWEVER, the large wrench I threw into the plan is that I applied for a promotion at work. I am up against some stiff competition, so although I want all the confidence in the world, I am a little freaked out and not planning on getting it. If anything, applying gave me a good experience, but lets all hope it leads to a fantastic job. I'll still be able to go out to PA for the summer if I get the job, it just means I'm for sure coming back in the fall. I'm hoping I'll find out about the job this week, so I'll let whoever is reading this know the out come as soon as I know.

well...
I realize that it's been almost two years since I last blogged, and due to the fact that I'm moving in a matter of months, it seemed like a good idea to start up again so y'all know what's going on. Basically this is to save me the hasell of having to say the same thing over and over again... JUST KIDDING! So here we go...
As many of you know (I hope) I have been offered and accepted a job at Paradise Farm Camps in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. For those who did not know me prior to September of 2007 PFC is where I spent MANY summers as well as about 9 months living and working. If you've ever had a conversation with me, you'll know how much I loved being out in PA and the camp. So needless to say I am VERY excited to be going back.
Once the summer is over I will (fingers crossed) be finding some type of job and either living in the city of Philadelphia or the surrounding area. I have been looking online and have seen some good prospects, but am going to wait and apply once I'm out there. So starting June 1st I'll be asking you all to send out good vibes for me to find a job.
So the basic plan is that I will finish out my year at Head Start, which ends May 22nd. My friend Cary will be flying out around the 27th and the two of us will head out in to the world for what I can garontee will be one awesome road tirp. I will need to be "at camp" for a open house on June 2nd, then I'll have a week to settle in and celebrate my Dirty 30 (30th birthday), then camp starts June 11th.
As for the job itself I will be helping with the teen camp. It is an amazing program for teen's ages 13 to 15 to come and get leadership training and a really amazing summer experience. The program works with West Cheter University to help teach different leadership skills each week, along with getting to go on amazing field tips to high ropes courses, paint murals in inner city Philly, and other cool stuff.
With all the fun stuff that is going on I'll make sure to take TONS of pictues and keep you all up to date in what's going on in my soon to be neck of the woods. I'll try and update this as mcuh as I can between now and when I move as well so I can find ways to see you all. AND I'll make the promise that once I move I will try and update the at least once a week.
