All my life

In all of my life I have never been an office worker. In high school, I worked at Taco Bell, Brendle's (anybody even remember that store), and a variety of restaurants. Ryan, on the other hand, other than a high school stint at Food Lion in the produce department, has always worked in an office. In college, he worked at the office of Alumni affairs, I worked at Mama Loo's Chinese Kitchen. During summer breaks he worked at Revlon in the accounting department. Me, I worked at Chico's Mexican Restaurant and Bar. After college - guess where Ryan went - to an accounting office in Hendersonville. Me, I went to a classroom full of energetic, needy, loving children who would appreciate my over-the-top mentality. My classroom was colorful, inviting, and messy. You couldn't even really see my desk and for the first several months I didn't even have a chair for it. It didn't matter when I actually got one because I was rarely in it. What I think funny about all of this is I had no idea of how God was preparing me for my future life. He knew I was going to need more time in a kitchen and less time in an office. He knew Ryan was going to have to be very good and efficient in an office in order to be our only income. However, some days I long for an "office." I refuse to check the "unemployed" box on questionnaires. Granted, I may not have much reportable income but I can assure you I definitely have a "job!" So, I decided to start a blog just to share some of the things I do (or don't do) in my "office." Who would have thought my office would turn out to be ten times the size of Ryan's!? :)
