Who Likes Work?

I feel like life is flying by and I'm not sure where it's going. I am no longer traveling for work so my weeks are now more 'routine' which I thought would be better but it seems like the weeks go faster now. Everyday I'm bored out of my mind at work but even traveling that was an issue. I really want to know what kind of jobs people have where they are truly excited to be there and happy about what their doing. And how did they start the process of figuring out what they wanted to do? I feel like I've always thought that once I was 'grown up' I would be what I had always wanted to be and do what I wanted to do... except what have I always wanted to do??? Who do I want to be? I certainly didn't grow up saying 'I hope one day to have a prosperous career in the healthcare technology field' or 'Gee I hope one day I can be a cube monkey at a big company'. I don't have any other ideas and this is the role I fell into so now that's my life. I wish I could take one of those tests they give you in school that tell you what kind of jobs you are cut out for when you grow up. Except I am grown up... when did that happen?

A lot has happened in a year..

So I forgot I started a blog.. so much for good intentions. I'm going to try to make my posts less then a year apart even though no one is yet reading this blog.

I have been happily married since September 25, 2009 and it was a really great wedding. However, wedding planning was still the worst and I wouldn't imagine it on my worst enemies. I wish I would have kept up the blogging during that time because it would have made for some interesting rants (the invitation fiasco, the button fiasco, the cork fiasco, and many more). I would have offended every family member with my rants but they all offended me and we were all about to disown each other at the time so it's probably better I didn't have an outlet to document any of those frustrations. I never knew weddings could be so dividing since the point of them is to unite.

I did have my fairly small destination wedding that I always wanted with 75 people in attendance (which was really the perfect amount). It was in beautiful California wine country at Viansa Winery in Sonoma. Everyone says it was one of the most fun weddings they've been to and, although I'm biased, I tend to agree. Everything was perfect, the weather was absolutely beautiful and the end result of the months of planning was amazing.

My First Blog Ever

So I decided to start a blog and I'm not really sure what my intentions are with it. I'm not sure how good I'll be at keeping at it and how open I will be to sharing my thoughts with everyone. Obviously I've decided to send it to you so we must be good friends and I apologize if you get bored.

Currently I am reading Eric Clapton's autobiography and in it he references diary entries from early in his life. It really got me thinking that as pointless as diaries seem in the moment, in 10 or 20 years from now, I'll have no idea what I was thinking or doing back when I was a young squirt of 25. I have a hard time remembering what I did last week. I believe this kind of thing will help me when I have a twenty something year old child and I honestly can't remember what it was like to be in my twenties. I can say "Yes, yes did act just as stupid as you, if not more so" instead of "What the hell are you thinking!" College was a bit of a haze... enough said.

I'm beginning to think this blog may become my place to babble so I will hopefully learn to keep them short and to the point. If not, I won't even read these posts again!
