KJB Meets World: November 2017

KJB Lately: California Adventure

So as you're aware in August, I was laid off after my then current position as Museum Shop Manager.

---------

Over the next few weeks, I began my search for my next steps. I had originally wanted to get to two years with DACO and then look into moving West. Lucky for me, being laid off got the ball rolling that much quicker.

I began looking for a House Director position with a sorority on the West Coast, preferably California.

After some odd weeks, everything seemed to fall into place. Somehow there was a position available at UC Davis.

----------

So I packed up and moved across the country to start a new adventure with myself and Thomas!

And what a mighty adventure it has been the past two weeks.

KJB Lately: Graduate Student

Since November 2016, my resolve to go to law school was renewed. So I began my search, I decided to start looking into graduate school. In March 2017, I began at Indiana Wesleyan University for my MPA in Non-profit Leadership.

I'll graduate in December 2018.

My next steps will be LSAT, all the prep that comes along with that and then- hopefully Law School. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get into UC Davis.

So this is the grand scheme... the second step I suppose in total domination.

Whattayda think?

KJB Lately

Hey y'all! I'm not sure what I'll be doing the next few weeks... but I can tell you that I'm basically the new Tami Laurie *shrugs*

What does that mean... you may ask. Well last Friday, I was told at the end of the day... that that would be my last day at work.... However, I have 2/3 weeks of paid leave before it officially takes effect... So like Tawnie, I'm being paid to not work....

When The Blaze originally cut Tony loose, I thought that girl has got it made in the shade. (*pun intended*)

Now that the shoe is on the other foot... being laid off is less than the ideal outcome...

But we march on.

So that's what's new with me...

I'll be seeing ya!

KJB About Town: Fairfield County Fair (October 13 & 14)

Last year, Mom & I moved across town and we never made it to the fair. So this year, being the last year that I'll definitely be in town, I had to make up for lost times!

Not to mention future lost time!

I had to get the Cattlemens Special (a delicious burger), chocolate dipped cheesecake on a stick, steak on a stick, pizza! Of course, a lemonade shake up! Then Krazy Taters!

I went Friday night with Trent & Bekah and then we went to Ale House downtown for drinks and apps!

Trent & Bekah

The next day, I went to the Fair with Sara and Jen prior to my going away party!

I love sharing the Fair with people!

For one last time, it was a sweet farewell!

KJB About Town: Bon Voyage (October 14)

When Mom found out that I was heading to Davis, CA -- she decided that she wanted to throw me a going away party... October 14th was the day!

When Bekah Met Thomas

I had friends come down from Akron and I had friends from around town, not all pictured below.

There was delicious food and our favorite Giant Eagle cake (almond!).

This moment with the cake was my favorite, it was hilarious-- so many pictures and Come Clean playing in the background.

Recreating A Masterpiece

My BFF Gets Me

Who knew that moving across the country came with gifts.

Leaving a place is never easy and leaving good friends to hopefully make new friends -- is even harder. But I'm excited for this new adventure!

KJB About Town: Neeley's Farm (October 13)

Friday the 13th, started with mom and I planning on meeting The Sanderson Sisters (Brandi: Sarah and Asgaya: Mary) for tattoos... after waiting for over two hours, Brandi had to leave for work and mom and I decided to go to Columbus for First Watch.

After First Watch, we decided to go back to the Pumpkin Patch/farm that we frequent- this time without Thomas and it did not disappoint.
