Where I’ve Been

By Amanda – Posted on

Hello friends,

It feels like I’m emerging from a void or the “upside-down” with this blog post. It’s been a very long time since I’ve written here. I have some interesting updates that explain where I’ve been all this time.

My 2018 had a very slow start but has become a life-changing year. I began 2018 focused on applying to jobs and updating this website, all while working a part-time retail job. Finally, 80 job applications later, I got an opportunity to start my career in environmental management with an amazing two-year internship! I got news about my placement in June, and by July I had moved to a new city and started my job.  

I now live in Peterborough, Ontario. It’s a small, growing city with lots of character. Callie made it to Peterborough too, and together we’ve been getting settled in our new home. If anything, she’s adjusted much better than me. I still wake up confused sometimes, unable to tell whether I’m in Vancouver, Ottawa or Peterborough. Funny how it feels like it took forever to get to this point, yet my body still hasn’t adjusted to the new reality. 

My new city is beautiful in a small city way. The neighborhoods are lined with big, old trees, and the houses here have colonial style (think archways, columns, and bedroom attics). I’m still adjusting to all my new routines, but I’ve been loving going to work. It’s rewarding to be able to use the knowledge and skills that I’ve spent so long developing. All I wanted while working retail was to be intellectually challenged. I won’t take that for granted now.  

Well, that’s my update. Now that things have settled down, I hope to write here more frequently. Stay tuned for more updates on “Callie and Amanda’s Grand Adventure” haha. 

I hope you’ve all been well too! 

Amanda

  7. Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?

    I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing
    between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking
    for something unique. P.S My apologies for
    getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  10. Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with
    hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no data backup.

    Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?

  17. Interesting content about fashion items! I’ve been looking into different options these days, especially the hermes birkin 35 dupe.

    The construction on current hermes replicas is truly remarkable. For example, the birkin 30 rouge grenat includes genuine appearance.

    I particularly enjoy the kelly 25 gris etain collection. The birkin bandana bag exhibits amazing workmanship. Look at this beautiful hermes birkin replica: IMAGE_URL_SPINTAX_HERE]

    The thing that’s amazing about hermes 1:1 is the emphasis on quality. The birkin 30 replica exactly matches the real style.

    Have you purchased the birkin 30 vert amande? I’m considering the hermes hac replica or maybe the bandana birkin bag.

    The hermès kelly 32 collection has fantastic selection. Even the birkin 40 line shows high craftsmanship.

    All in all, whether you’re considering kelly hermes replica, the craftsmanship now is absolutely outstanding.
