We Are On YouTube!

Okay, please bear with us! We are totally new to having a camera around us, totally new to having to think about what to show and even how to edit the videos into something manageable.  

Day 1: What We've Learned
-  The basics of iMovie
-  We need to get a tripod for the camera to make it not as wobbly 
-  We need to watch more tutorials on iMovie
-  We're obvious beginners in front of the camera!
-  It's totally weird to think that we'll be watching ourselves on the TV/computer. 

Our new-to-us Georgie Boy Pursuit is a GREAT vehicle.  When we get some more basics down, things put away, & the weather gets nicer, we'll do a full tour of the inside and the outside.  But here's a sneak peek at our new home!

Let us know what you think, and let us know what you want to see!! :)

Careers: Why are they so confusing?

All my life, I had some sort of plan on what I wanted to be when I grew up.  And now that I'm "Grown Up", I have no bloody idea.  I know my passions, which are many, I know my career now makes me happy when I'm at work with my patients, but when I'm not at work, I catch myself looking online at other job postings.  I know I want and need to go back to school.  But if only I could figure out what for... 

The pros of my current career: 
Hours
Insurance
Save Lives
Re-Hired me
Went through all the training
Pay for Paramedic

Cons:
Wild Hours
Office Staff
Rotating Schedule
Handful of irritating people
Immaturity, but most of it's fun :)
High injury rates
Not a bunch of room for promotions

Now, I applied to a Bank Teller position... I don't know much of the specifics, other than a set schedule, holidays off, and it says benefits.  Who knows.  I'm kind of hoping for it actually. But then we deal with the whole leaving the company again, getting rid of my insurance and transferring to another.  
If I can get this, I can go back to school, and not worry about a rotating schedule, or shift bidding every 6 weeks.  Being indecisive doesn't exactly help the situation. haha :) 

The only thing I do know, is at this point, if circumstances allow, I'd love to retire and buy an old house and own a bed and breakfast.  Granted, that might be because I've been looking at bed and breakfasts for our honeymoon haha :) 

What were some of your childhood dream careers? Mine?
Dancer
Astronaut
Doctor
US Navy
Teacher
Journalist/Writer
Party Planner
Animal Trainer
