Changes.

Well kind of.

I accepted a job.

They bought my ticket.

California and Puerto Rico will give me a beautiful tan.

Maybe I will fall in love.

I will return often unless I take the full time job.

3 little words describe my life right now: The travel bug. It started with my trip to Italy, expanded to a vacation in Mexico, and left off with my 2-month stint to Pennsylvania/New York.  I also saw traveling in my future by getting my masters in another state, but I knew that would not be any time soon. Just weeks ago I told my mom that I wanted to take a year between undergrad and grad school and of course her biggest worry was what I would do in between. I gave her the normal answers: study and take the GRE's, apply to schools, get an internship, find a job, and live a school free life.  I was not prepared for the answer I will be giving everyone when they ask me now. 

Yesterday I received a phone call from a family in New Jersey with a beautiful 2-year-old son named Jack. I was shocked, because lets being honest, I did not think it would come. This wonderful family has asked me to become their travel nanny with the possibility of becoming their full time nanny once I graduate.  I will travel with them to Beverly Hills in September, Napa and San Fran in October, and Puerto Rico in November. 

To be honest I never saw my journey in life passing down this road.  Spring term, heck even half way through this summer, I was more worried about keeping a relationship strong and thriving.  It wasn't until I got my heart broken in July, actually lets be honest, not until I received this phone call that I understood why our relationship ended.  Now I realize I would have NEVER taken this amazing opportunity if we were still together.  This beautiful opportunity that fits so perfectly into my life plans and opens up so many doors for my future.

I know God has a bigger plan for me and this is only one of his many ways of showing it. I cannot wait to see what else he has in store.

LOVE
