My life has been turned completely upside down the past few months.
I moved to a state I had never been to before, where I didn't know a soul, less than 15 hours after graduation. I drove twenty-two hours straight through several states with my sweet brother, dropped him off at the airport to send him back to Texas, then started my new job the next morning. I'd like to think I hit the ground running. I spent days pouring over old save files learning as much as possible about the twenty events and three bowl games I would get the opportunity to help coordinate. Three of the other interns have become my best friends here. We have so much fun together and there is never a dull moment in our crazy lives. Church hunting was a task because I was attending new place every week, but ultimately my heart has felt home at the first church I visited. I am surrounded by an incredible group of Godly young women at my Wednesday Bible study at Kathy's house, and I look forward to every Wednesday night. I love my life here, but you can't deny that my entire life changed, very quickly I might add.
Then, last Tuesday, we began our eleven day Hole In One Golf event. And I feel normal again. To be back out working at a sporting event, interacting with customers, sponsors, volunteers, and coworkers gives me an excitement and happiness that is hard for me to express. My days are long, and sometimes very stressful. I get home at late at night and most times I'm too exhausted to work out. Despite my tiredness, when I try to go to bed, I can't sleep because I think about the day and I am so elated to be doing what I love to do. I can't imagine having any other kind of job. I don't know where my next job is going to take me, but I know exactly how it should make me feel. Normal.
