Time to move on once again


So good news....I go a permanent job back in Pennsylvania! Bad news, I have to leave all my friends in Georgia as I will not be coming back for the spring season. I've only been here two months but it feels like much longer. I've learned so much and had an amazing time here! I felt just like this 2 months ago when leaving Utah and now have to pack up and do it all over again. Unfortunately these feelings will probably tag along with me my entire life, because I love to keep moving and keep changing elements around in my life. As much as I love it, moving on is so hard when you have made a connection to a new place and start to make attachments. I'm going to miss all the great times playing with animals, commuting to work across a lake everyday, taking kids out in the woods on canoeing on the water, playing games, etc. I mean I got paid to dress up like a beekeeper and harvest honey!



Just last week a group of us took the canoes out at dusk and paddled around for an hour while we waited for it to get dark. There was a conference going on and they planned fireworks that evening. Sitting in the lake surrounded by my friends while the fireworks lit up the lake and the woods around us was incredible. Probably the best fireworks show I've seen. It was beautiful! Everything is just so pretty here right now because Georgia is finally coming full swing into fall. The weather is cooler now and the leaves have really started to change. I just love autumn and am glad that I can hang on to it a little longer than I would have been able to if I was back in PA. The office life will certainly not be as much fun or around so much natural beauty but I'm looking forward to moving home,being surrounded by old friends and getting some experience on my resume. It will be a nice, steady change for a bit...until I move on to my next adventure of course!

Bees!

Last week I helped to harvest honey from our three bee hives. It was a load of fun and tasty too! Only a few of us got stung... those bees were not happy!
