September 1st

How has it become September 1st? It's wild to think that it's Labor Day weekend and summer is ending. I've had so many adventures this year, and I am not quite done yet. I've traveled to well over 15 different cities in at least 11 different states within 7 months and I am currently on my flight to Flint, Michigan to run around the state with one of my favorite people. I've been looking forward to this trip for quite a while now. There's just something intriguing about playing dress up for a wedding one day and then waking up the next day to go play in the dirt at a race track. This weekend marks the pivot point from my hectic adventurous summer and begins wedding season. Stay tuned to see my fun creative wedding gifts I've been working on as well as updates from the notorious Baja Brawl. 

Summer

Summer has been in full swing seeing that it has been a month since I have graduated already.  I have to admit, that with everything I have been up to, it feels like it has been a month!  Lately I have been doing a ton of yard work & gardening for a lady that lives close by and sometimes with my dad.  It has essentially been my resource for fast cash;)  Other than that I have still been tackling the job search process.  Overall, I have been learning a lot, but I haven't been able to land an exciting graphic design job quite yet.  This week coming up is a big one, so any luck sent my way is very much appreciated!


I drove to DC last week for an informational interview with a company I applied to about a month ago.  Going down there, seeing the office, and meeting with one of the principles was one of the absolute best things I could have done... it was worth the drive!  I received a lot of valuable feedback on my portfolio and had a good conversation about career advice.  The following day I attempted to go to Philly but only got about half way due to a leaking tire stem:(  I'll attempt to make the haul again this week!


I'm really looking forward to landing a job, grabbing an apartment, and getting some experience under my belt.  I'm feeling pretty adventurous to move away from home, and I am hoping something pulls through pretty quickly.  Of course, you always need a bit of patients, so it has been a learning experience trying to find that happy medium.  Anyways, be sure to stay tuned as I hope I can match up with some awesome opportunities:)


Happy Summer.
