Hello Real World!

You know the saying..."Good things come when you least expect it."

Well I fully believe in it! I have been working at my current job going on 4 years now, through college and since my recent college graduation. I love it! The only problem is that it has nothing to do with my major, which was Dietetics, and I really felt that the health and fitness world was meant for me. Since graduation I have been searching high and low for that perfect job. I have had interview after interview and rejection letter after rejection letter. I was determined to find something!

So the next option/step to becoming a Registered Dietitian, after graduating from an accredited Dietetic program, is during your last semester. Many of my classmates decided they wanted to become an RD and applied for a Dietetic Internship. This sounded very intimidating to me! I was unsure as to what I wanted to do so I did not apply.

After searching and having zero luck I decided I would submit my applications this fall and put the whole job searching on hold so I started the process just this week, Monday. On Tuesday I recieved a phone call and email from an employeer I had had an interview with earlier this summer! I was SO excited. They had such good news! Little did I know they were going to offer me a job!! I happily accepted my first "BIG GIRL" job on Thursday! I am all smiles. :)

You know that "perfect job" that you dream of forever? Or the job you think you will LOVE? Well this is my perfect job! I want to work with children and I wanted it to be health and fitness based. Well that is exactly what I will be doing. I will be educating children in the local school districts about nutrition as well as people receiving food assistance. I just can't wait to start!

It is going to be hard to leave my current job because I really like the people that work here and I don't mind the job itself. I realized I was ready for something new. I am so excited to start this new chapter in my life and am SO lucky to have so many people celebrating/experiencing it with me!

Have a great weekend!

Happy 4th of July!

Okay I know it's not actually July 4th but my hometown celebration starts tonight! My boyfriend and I are going to his parents for the night and day. There is always bands at the park so we will probably meet some of our friends at the park and enjoy some music outside! I don't know about your weather but here in Iowa it's in the mid 90's! In other words we will spending time outside :) The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays! I just love it. Friends, family, bbq, bags and the whole shebang!
 Happy 4th!
