When I grow up...

When I was a child I would change the end of the phrase "When I grow up I want to be..." all the time.

One week I would want to be a professional vocalist (singer), the next I would want to be a poultry scientist, and the next week I wanted to be a cosmetologist.

On our About Us page I go into a little bit of detail about how I changed my college major from Health Sciences (I was going to school originally to be an x-ray tech or possibly a nurse) to Journalism.

You already know that we are masters at doing something new.

This time, however, we have chosen a dream SO big that we are going to have to be diligent about our research, time management, and resource management more than ever. 

We are masters at making budgets stretch, so as long as we know our budget we will be fine.

We have also mastered the art of turning trash into treasure and loving every minute of it. As far as research goes… well we tend to get lost and spend hours researching. This makes me think that research is a hobby of ours…
