Hello 2012. I wonder what you have in store for me. 2012 will mark three years of living in Oregon and 2 years with my wonderful boyfriend. I guess time flies when you are having fun.
2012 is they year of endless possibilities. The best part of getting older is realizing that life doesn't always work out how you imagined. When I was young, I set deadlines for everything from owning a house, to getting married to owning my own business. So far I am 0 for 3, but I also didn't plan to live the extraordinary life that I have. And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.

2012 is the year of opportunities for a career change. Some of you know that my position as the Grape Marketing Coordinator for Wisconsin was cut to 10 hours per week due to federal funding. When I took the job last year, I knew that this was a possibility so I was prepared. So now what? That is a great question. I have worked in the wine industry for 8 years and have loved most every minute of it. But living in Bend, Oregon makes it a little difficult to work in the wine industry. My choice of course. Actually, there are a few wineries and vineyards in the area, but in all honesty I am hoping to transition into the craft beer industry. I am just waiting for an opportunity.
2012 is the year of opportunities for continued education. In the meantime, I have been pondering going back to school...again...at Siebel Institute of Technology for the Associate in Brewing Technology program. Someone recently said I cannot be a student forever. I say, why not? The mind is a terrible thing to waste. I love to learn. There is nothing worse for me than downtime. I think I would make an excellent brewer.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover"Mark Twain

2012 is the year of opportunities for travel and adventure. I guess I will have to wait and see what the year brings. Whatever it is, I am ready and waiting for my next adventure. I mean, I was born with a suitcase in my hand. I am looking forward to dusting off my passport and visiting London, France, Dominican Republic and hopefully Greece.
