Wow, so I have been slacking in the blogging department. As it turns out my last semester of school was quite hectic! During my last semester I worked a full-time job, attended 5 classes (15 credit hours), worked on building our new house, and began the paperwork for an adoption. Talk about a busy semester!
While the last 6 months have been pretty crazy for me, they have also been very rewarding. Two very great things have happened to me since my last post. First, I was able to take my education and work experiences and put them together to land a brand spanking new job as a Business Intelligence Developer. In a time when so many college graduates are unable to land jobs out of college I feel extremely lucky. I hope to detail my process of attaining this job in a future post or two, so stay tuned! The second great thing that happened to me is that I graduated from college. While it wasn't easy, it has been totally worth it. Not only did I pick up many essential working skills, I also learned a ton about myself throughout the process. I am going to be discussing several of the lessons that I learned in upcoming posts as well.
Last but not least, two other big things are going on in my life right now. Currently we are building our first home and I am excited! Our new home should be done around the middle of May and currently we are spending all of our time focusing on saving money. Around the time our home is finished we would like to be approved to be on the adoption waiting list trying to adopt our second child. It is a scary prospect to me, but I'm also very excited because I love being a dad. I'm sure some future posts will deal with these things as well. It is my hope that this blog will be helpful/interesting to people who are in similar situations in there lives. While I know I don't always do things in the best way, I hope that others can learn from me (and my mistakes). All the best!
