Where Does the Time Go??

My wonderful readers!

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything and for that I am truly sorry. Life tends to get in the way when we least expect it to, don’t you agree?
 
As you may recall, my teaching job ended as of June 1st of this year. It’s been a wild and crazy summer and things don’t show any signs of slowing down for the fall. We went to Disneyland (you can read up on that trip here), Larry and I were on staff at Wood Badge, did Webelos Wow with one Webelos Scout, went to our nephew’s missionary homecoming, started a new job (more on that later in this post), and my most recent journey was being inducted into the Boy Scout Honor Society, Order of the Arrow. That was quite a neat opportunity that I will share about later.


As for my new job, I am now selling mortgage protection insurance. If someone would have told me two months ago that I’d be selling insurance I’d probably have laughed at them. However, I rather enjoy it! I get to help families have peace of mind. I also get to go to North Carolina next month to participate in a leadership summit and Make-A-Wish Foundation Fundraising event.
 
Last week, I was running around for my job. This means I also utilize Google Maps on my phone so I can find people. I enter addresses and knock on the doors of people I can’t otherwise get on the phone. Well, my phone’s battery was running dangerously low and I still had multiple doors to knock on. Then I remembered I had gotten this little myCharge in the mail in return for my honest review. Time to put that baby to the test!
myCharge HubPlus 6700mAh portable battery charger
Wow! My phone, an iPhone 8, takes around 1-2 hours to fully charge on average. I put my phone on this mini charging device and within five minutes I had gone from 7% charged to 43% charged! I couldn’t believe it! I used it four times before having to recharge the device. You plug it directly into the wall, then pop it into your bag when it’s done. It even charged Larry’s super slow Android phone in about an hour! It normally takes about 4-5 hours for his phone to get fully charged! Very highly recommend this amazing little product! You can buy yours here. (I do not get any monetary compensation if you buy this product, I received one for free in return for my honest review.)
 
I'm excited to be able to go to North Carolina next month and will definitely post about it! Have a great day!

Originally published on 11/25/2018 As some of you old hats to my blog may remember, I began working for VIPKID back in April 2018. That didn't really pan out for me so I had to find something else. Back in August, I started looking for something in sales. I came across a post on ZipRecruiter about insurance sales and applied. Little did I know that first interview would begin a new journey for traveling! Larry and I were able to go to North Carolina earlier this month for a Leaders' Summit. I learned all sorts of good stuff about becoming a leader for my own team. I look forward to implementing that information very soon. We also decided that, since we were there, we would make the most of the trip... Boy, did we ever! The first thing you should know is that we thought we could check into our motel any time of the day. We took a red eye flight from Salt Lake City, UT over to Charlotte, NC, had a rental car waiting for us, and drove two hours or so back to Asheville...

So Many Blogs to Write, So Little Time!

Originally published on 05/09/2018 I have been slacking in my blogging duties... I do apologize! I will say however it is because of my job as a special needs preschool teacher. The end of the year is always super busy for me with multiple evaluations to be done, IEPs to write, etc. June 1st is in my sights though, so I can spend some time catching up on all the blogs I need to write about! :) I also have been getting myself ready for a career change. WHAT?! Yes, that's right. I'm no longer going to be a special needs preschool teacher after June 1st. I am going to work for VIPKID. Ever heard of them? I'm really excited to start this new Journey because I can stay home with my family, as well as travel! I've been getting all of my props ready to go so that when I can open up my schedule I will have everything I need right away. It's been a fun process, and I just LOVE their mascot, Dino. I have a few scouting adventures to write about... One of which is to fi...

Wood Badge - Part 4

Originally published on 02/13/2018 On Day 3 of my Wood Badge Experience, the Bobwhite Patrol was in charge of the flag ceremony. This was a neat experience since I've never been involved in a flag ceremony before. The historical flag that we had to showcase was The Star Spangled Banner, which included 15 stars and 15 stripes. To learn more about this flag, please follow  this link . After all three flags were on their respective poles, we sang our country's National Anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner". One of the things we had to do today was set up a tent. They made it into a competition, and we were not the first ones done, but members of other Patrols came and helped everyone out as the finished their own tents. The is the basic Boy Scouts of America tent, from what I understand. It is also identical to what I slept in for the week. I am grateful that on day 2 I asked for a cot to sleep on, because the ground was just littered with tree roots... Not the most...
