That being said, back to the original question. What DO I want to be when I grow up? For the past year I have been struggling with this decision. I do not see myself using the logistics knowledge I have learned with the Army and what would I really do with my Sociology degree? About two months ago it finally came to me. Event planner. At first I thought it was a little far fetched and just a dream. However, I started mentioning it to my friends and family and they all told me the same thing. "You would be great at that!" I was actually very surprised and flattered. Maybe I really could do this?! Whether it's a going away party or just having people over to watch a game I always go all out. I find myself at work thinking about dips and cupcakes instead of focusing on the task at hand.
So here I am. I have decided to start this blog to document my journey on exploring the idea of becoming an event planner. It's a place where I can put my ideas, thoughts and pictures of parties I plan (or help plan). I am at a very exciting time in my life. Transitioning back to being a "civilian" is great but there is also a lot of unknown which makes it a little scary. I know I will miss the Army and I would do it all over again. I have met great people and some of my best friends while serving.
All the best,
Alice
