I went back to work full time in 2008 when my daughter got her driver's license. "I won't be needing you anymore," she said. "You'd better get a life."
Okay, so I did. Not that I didn't have "a life" before that, I was coordinating several non-profit events from Ogden to Logan, plus designing bead jewelry using historical beads and doing several shows a year. But it was time to go back to work full time... I was being "released from my assignment" as private chauffeur, dance mom, skating mom, debate club mom.
I updated my resume, and it went quickly from there - I got the first job I applied for, but then again it was a perfect fit: Conference Coordinator at USU. Now in my third year at the university - and as the saying goes: "When in Rome..." Being in the middle of campus will all the great academic flow going on around me was inspirational - so... in 2009 I decided to go back to school and finish that degree that I'd left hanging while life took center stage.
Work, school, and still involved in non-profit events, groups and organizations that are near and dear to my heart. Sounds like a lot, doesn't it? Well... so far, so good... I've got this.
