I went through various stages. In Kindergarten I wanted to dig up dinosaur bones. I can say what that is called and it starts with a "P" but I am not even going to try to spell it. Through most of my K-12 years of school I did not think about it much. When I graduated high school I still did not really know what I wanted to do. I had been in physical therapy because of my first knee surgery so I guess I decided I would become a physical therapist. The first week of school I changed my major to Agriculture Communications. It was a much better fit... for about 1.5 years. I then decided that was not what I wanted to do so I thought...hmmm...nursing might be fun!! Well after about 12 weeks I was enjoying the book work better than the clinicals which was a problem. So, I got out of the nursing program. I then decided that I was going to major in Business Administration with a minor in Human Resources (I had always talked about being in HR) and was going to finish that and get my degree. If I knew what I wanted to do after that and it wasn't in business I would continue my education.
I graduated in December of 2007 so during the summer of 2007 I was looking for internships. After many follow-up calls with nothing available I contacted Ditch Witch following up on the resume I sent them. They happened to have a full time HR Assistant position available and the HR Director told me I should apply for it. 3 interviews later I had landed a full time job!!
Isn't it funny how you try to plan your life, but God is always looking out for you. I like the phrase "When you make plans God laughs." So as Tad grows older and is trying to figure out just what he is supposed to be doing with his life, I hope he puts his trust in God because he will lead him to just what he is supposed to be doing.
However... I think Tad has already began his search:
Below: Tad is very interested in watches. Maybe he will become a jeweler!!
Below: Tad is always involved in our Greedy games. This could be a sign he is headed for the Casino industry.
Below: Tad had to try on Uncle Jake's welding hat. He might follow his uncle's footsteps and become a mechanical genius!
Below: Maybe Tad will become a sprinter in the Olympics!! That might change as he gets older... however his Daddy did run cross country! Right now he is getting in some good practice. Every time Gigi and Poppa come in the door he sprints over there to see them. So sweet.
Below: Tad grabbed my check. Maybe he is thinking about working in the banking industry.
Below: I think Tad may be destined to be a 911 operator. HAHA I have to tell you this story. Uncle Jake was teaching Tad how to dial 911, and I guess Uncle Jake thought he had hung up the phone... but didn't. Mom (Grandma Brenda) immediately received a call from the Sheriff's department about a 911 hang up call and asked her if everything was okay. Of course everything was fine but because of protocol they have to send an officer out to check everything out.
Below: Tad loves digging through my very unorganized purse and pulling everything out. Maybe he will become a professional organizer?!?!
Below: A financial adviser might be in his future. By the looks of it, he is already planning his retirement.
Below: This is a tricky one. Chef or drummer?? That night he was definitely leaning towards drummer.
Below: Professional cake decorator?
Below: One day we might walk into a bar and see Tad as a table dancer!!!
Below: He enjoyed chewing on my lip gloss. A sign of a professional make-up artist in his future??
Whatever Tad grows up to be, I hope that he finds something that he loves to do. With his supportive parents and loving family he will go far.
