Back in Action

It's 12:30 in the morning and I am exhausted but I can't sleep because my heart is so full right now. And when I say exhausted, I mean the kind of exhausted where 'I went to the gym after work and I nodded off on the elliptical' kind of exhausted. My brain won't slow down enough to let me fall asleep.

I'm excited to share that my farmer's tan is back! Well, I'm not exactly thrilled about the less than attractive tan, but very excited that the Festival of College Football events are in full swing...a golf swing actually. We have a golf event that started yesterday and will go until the 14th. I will be out there every day with the rest of event operations department to keep the event running smoothly. It's been long two days and I am already exhausted, sunburnt and LOVING being back out on site at an event. I am having a blast and I am so happy we still have ten days to go!

Things I've missed about working at a sporting event:
  • The feeling of excitement even after waking up at the crack of dawn to make sure everything is ready for the event to begin 
  • Working with volunteers 
  • Getting my "Hug Your Customers" skills on 
  • Khaki shorts 
  • The energy and fun of events 
  • Bonding with coworkers 
  • Free meals (sometimes I think I will always feel like that poor college student that jumps at every meal)

Honestly

I'm a pretty honest person. When I was in elementary school, the teachers at my private school picked a character trait that they thought described each child in their class each year. It was a trait they saw in the child, and they gave our parents a certificate with our name and our chosen character trait. I have four character trait certificates. Three years I received "Honesty." The fourth year I mixed it up a little: "Truthfulness." That being said, I need to be honest for a minute. I think I have a problem with honesty. I know! I was surprised, too, when I realized it. But it's not what you think. So before you start trying to figure out what lies I may have told you, let me explain. You know how you can look back and realize something that happened to you would teach you a lesson one day? There are several moments in my life that helped come to the realization that my elementary school certificates might be invalid... Texas, Fall 2008...

All I Really Want is to be Found

I have done all the right things for all the wrong reasons I have been here before, it seems like time and time again I keep trying to find life in the places life's not found I'm recessitating old flames without thoughts of getting burned It is possible that I Could ever get it right There is nowhere else to go There is no one else to run to All around is quickly fading All I know is You've always been there Always been there, you've always been there Always been there I have seen all the endings to all my sad stories And they leave me alone, everytime its just the same You have fully accepted me with my failures Through the cross of my King, it's your mercy and your grace Is it possible that I Could finally get it right Yesterday has come and gone Everything I thought I had was wrong All I really want is to be found This is what I know, I have nowhere else to go - I have no one else to run to All around is quickly fading - All I have is...
