I just got home from a six hour packing job about an hour away from Davenport. It was a road driver from Salt Lake City – meaning they pay cash up front and hire workers to help him pack and load a truck. It was nice to get off earlier. 

I’m tired a lot. Most days I wake up at 5:30 a.m. and am out the door by either 6:00 or 6:30. The length of each day varies with how big the moves are and how heavy the loads are. I packed and then loaded a house for the last 3 days that weighed 25,580 lbs (not including a 30 foot long storage unit they had down the road). They officially had WAY too much stuff. 

I’m heading back to Nashville in another week which I’m excited for. It’ll be nice to be home for a while..

My time in Boston, MA is coming to an end. I’ve spent the last week or so up here with my aunt and uncle and their family. My uncle flew me down to paint the interior and some of the exterior of their house. After about a week of painting, I’ve finished all the major projects that were designated, as well as had some time to do a few extra things outside. Both my aunt and uncle were pleased with my work – so if anyone needs a painter, i’ve been painting for about 5 years now and do a fairly professional job :)

All right, I’m done with the little painting plug.. I’m flying back down to Chattanooga tomorrow morning and will be there for a few days until I drive up to Davenport, Iowa for the summer. I’ll be working with a moving company called Hawkeye Movers. I’ll most likely be getting my Certified Driver’s License (CDL) and driving a truck/semi a lot of the summer. It’s going to be a fun summer!

I’ll also be driving back to Nashville from June 7-12. I’m attending Ernst and Young’s Summer Leadership Program in the Nashville Office. I hope and pray that that results in a full-time job offer for when I graduate in May 2010. For those who are unfamiliar with E&Y, they are a worldwide accounting firm (one of the Big Four).. if I am offered a job, I will most likey be doing auditing (affirmation) or tax.

Here I come…

I’m home in Franklin for a few days before flying up to Boston, MA to work for my Aunt Karen and Uncle Wim for a week or two. I’m going to be painting the interior and some of the exterior of their house, as well as just enjoying spending time with their family.

Then I’ll be heading out to Davenport, Iowa to work for Hawkeye Movers for the summer… nothing like spending the summer in an 18-wheeler, moving houses all over the country.

Mid-June, I’ll be driving back to Nashville for Ernst and Young’s Summer Leadership Program – an opportunity that I hope and pray will turn into a full-time career as a CPA with Ernst and Young.
