Some big changes going on in my life right now. First, I got a new job as a cake decorator in a bakery. Yay! And second, I moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Double yay! The past few months of my life has been insanely weird, but looking back on it, I can see that all the door that were shut on me were just making it easier for the windows to be opened up.
Ok, cheesy analogy out of the way. Sorry about that. But seriously that is literally how my life has felt recently. In July I found out that my job was going to be ending in September (long story, but I was not fired if anyone is wondering... It just, as a whole, ended.) I figured that in October I would start looking for jobs in Grand Rapids, because that was where I really wanted to end up. In the middle of August I got a text message from a guy who owns a bakery in Grand Rapids (the one I really really really wanted to work at) asking me if I was still looking for a bakery position. Well, basically I leapt on that opportunity as quick as I could. I went down two days later for an interview, a week later for a "working" interview, and again two weeks later for another "working" interview. A lot of people told me that if they asked me back for a third interview it was probably a good sign, but to be honest, I really didn't want to get my hopes up that high. I've been burned before so I just kind of prepared myself for it. But it didn't come! Instead I was offered the job!!! A week later my job ended, and week after that I started my first day as a cake decorator!
So I know all this happened in that past, I yes I do realized that the title of the post says "currently". I say that because right now I am kind of free loading off my aunt and uncle who were kind enough to let me stay with them for the moment as I get situated here and find a second job. Unfortunately the bakery doesn't give me as many hours as I need to comfortably rent an apartment and well, feed myself. But I've got a few interviews coming up so hopefully (fingers crossed!) it won't be for too much longer. Also it will be nice to not have my allergies to their cats making itself known anymore. I've almost forgotten what it's like to breathe through my nose, and taste and smell things.
Anyway! Sorry for such a long, wordy post. I've been a little busy lately and haven't been taking as many pictures as I would have liked. Gotta get back at it! Also, it may be a little while before I post anymore recipes or food related posts. Seeing as how I don't really have access to a my own kitchen, it's slightly impossible at this moment. But soon! I can't wait!
