The Life as a Lube Professional

I had no idea it has been so long since I have updated! All my many readers, I am sorry I have kept you hanging for so long. There has been a lot of chances happening since I last posted. I am still in Dc training but have been traveling often. Been going to the south, north, midwest, and even a few new places in there. It has been beyond exciting and of course I am tried! I have been learned things that I didn't even have a clue about. Like: did you know the sugar made for cokes is a bi-product from coal MINES! Who would have ever guessed?! I sure didn't ha. I have made plenty of new friends and have loved getting to meet and interact with so many different people.

Here are come pictures from my first job training:



This is me looking at a gear box. Nerdy I know but this is my new job. I will be doing super cool nerdy things every day!


This is called a Drag Line. It is some of the equipment for the mining location. It is HUGE and scary when its moving.


Getting bullied of course since I am the new kid! ha

Now everyone has a small idea what it means to be a Lube Professional! I put on hard hats, steel toe boots, and roll around in oil and grease. At least it doesn't take me long to get ready in the mornings!

Here are some other pictures of my new friends and adventures because of course I am not all work and no play! I have to find some time to get in the important stuff such as friendship building!


Float trip with my training class.


I got to visit Abigail and Felis in the Big Apple!


Jimmy and Sunshine were reunited during my Auburn trip!!! I also got to see my sweet Brenton!

This experience has been such a blessing! I have grown and developing into a young woman that I am very proud of. I have not lose my Faith, family, friends or overall goal for myself. I know the Lord has big plans for me but I still have another month of training and growing. This season of my life is a perfect transition. I am not quite in the real world but am slowly stepping into it. Of course it is hard not knowing where I will be living for potentially the next two years but I know it will be wonderful. I am confident I will make new friends and of course always have my old. I continue to receive blessings and it helps me grow. Life is hard and always changing. These daily challenges are difficult but I will not allow them to let me miss out on my life. This past weekend was hard (LONG story) but I am growing and learning. I may never understand everything that has been put into my life but I know it is in the Lord's plan and it will help me!

This life I have been given gets better with each coming day. I honestly believed I would not love my job as much as I do now! This day I lived to the fullest and will only continue to live the next with the same attitude! Thank you Lord, Please help me continue down a path that is faithful only to you! Until next time, keep living a life that is worth something!
