Life's on track

Okay let me clear some things up first. One: I came to Texas on my own free will. Two: I love it here. Three: Yes I still miss Logan, but I'm here so I'm going to enjoy it! Four: I feel like this is where I need to be right now in my life so the chance of my coming home next week is none. Five: Plane tickets are expensive and it is rather difficult to get days off in the animal world.
Sweet, now that's all good time for my real post!
Its good to be back. It's been crazy though. When I arrived last wednesday I was thrown right back into everything. I got full responsibility of  my five kangaroo joeys and Winky, the baby aardvark. I was also getting taught diets. Now last year I was an intern. Interns are never aloud to be at the zoo alone. They don't make the diets, although they can help put it together. So for the past week I feel like I've had an information over load! But it's been good. So far I have loved being a full time keeper. But the whole "I'm the one in charge" thing is going to get some taking use to.
I decided that life has a funny way of working things out. The other night I was just thinking about how I got here and all the things that "went wrong", according to my plan, that got me here.

Graduated high school

Went to college

I didn't have enough money to continue with college

Happened upon this internship

Came down and spent an amazing 5 months

Went home and searched for a job

Went back to another semester of school

Searched for a job

Searched for a job
Got my CNA

Searched for a job

Didn't get a job so no money for school, again

Came down for a visit

Got offered this job

Accepted and moved to Texas

Dang in almost all of those stages I didn't understand why it was happening. I was frustrated that life wasn't working out the way I planned. But I'm very thankful it didn't work out the way I thought it was going to. If you would have told me my senior year that in two years I was going to be living in Texas and working at a zoo I would have been up for the adventure but I never would have thought that you were being serious.
I love looking back at my life and seeing that things do happen for a reason. That my life does have a plan, a purpose and is going in the right direction!
Here is a pic of my kangaroo joeys. Boy are these five messy! But i love them to death. It'll be hard selling them... but for now they are mine!
