Well my cruise ship career is behind me.  Not to say I’ll never work on a cruise again, but my extensive traveling itch has been scratched.

I found a job working as an Activity Director at a retirement community in Tacoma.   The location is not ideal, but I am really enjoying the work.  I plan the monthly calendar, do quite a bit of calling and trying to make community contacts, dream up new things to keep our residents entertained.  I love the residents and I get to work pretty independently which I really enjoy.

Other than work I’m still figuring out what it is I want to do with my free time.  I’m so used to being trapped on a floating ship with limited options, and now I’ve got a world full of highways and anything my heart could possibly desire.  I almost just don’t know what to do with it all.

The exciting news around town is that my sister and her husband are pregnant!  Which means, of course, that I am going to be an aunt to the most amazing niece/nephew in the world.  So I’m pretty excited.

I feel like the rest of life will fall into place eventually, just working on adjusting to ‘the real world’ and figuring what I want to do with my life!
