Humble Beginnings

I’m entering the fourth week here at The Clarion- Ledger, and I’ve noticed that being part of the real world is not exactly what I thought it would be, but it is more fun than I was anticipating. Sure, there is a lot of new responsibility, and there is no one else to blame if something goes wrong. All of the finger pointing will come right back to me. Also, one adaption from college to now is that if something is in a downward spiral, I can’t just say, “Oh well, if I can just tough it out until the end of the semester, it will be alright.” There is no more “end of the semester.” But I am finally glad that I can learn something new everyday here at The Clarion- Ledger. I can be passionate about learning and then apply all I’ve learned up here.

With a week and a half left until the wedding, I can honestly say that I’m ready for it to get here so we can look back and say, “Wow, what a circus all that planning was!” I moved into the new house, and we’ve been painting and getting it all ready for the big move in date! All the gifts from the showers are over there, and it isn’t cluttered in one room anymore, which is nice.

One cool thing about working at The Clarion-Ledger is that I got to meet (and now I know) Marshall Ramsey. The crime in Jackson has gotten out of control, with mid-afternoon robberies in public places. Obviously, no one has stolen Marshall's sense of humor!



I hope I can keep this blog up by posting on it atleast once a week. I want to keep it as professional as I can and not fill it with random “this and that.” This will also be a good way to log how married life starts and how it pans out. Until next time!
