Wait, What? You're in the Funeral Business? No way!

With this being my first blog, I thought long and hard as to what I could make my first post about. I couldn't start this new experience off by not mentioning the reaction that I receive almost 99.9% of the time when people find out that my little 5'4 self works in the funeral business, as an apprentice embalmer and funeral director who will soon be licensed in the Bluegrass State. First comes the "the look" of shock, and sometimes uneasiness after I've told them my chosen profession. I've even had a man who came to hook up my cable tell me that I must be weird. With that being said, that is the main reason I decided to start this blog. I'm twenty five years old, and I've been working in the funeral business for going on four years now. Although its a profession that is not for everyone, it was one that was a calling for me; one that I knew that I was meant to do. I'm an avid UK Wildcat fan, vintage lover,  and one that cannot function without numerous cups of coffee in the morning to start my day. Oh, and I must mention that I am the proud momma of a very mischievous dachshund named Oscar. Now that doesn't make me seem so weird now does it? Most importantly, I'm proud to be a independent young woman from Eastern Kentucky who is working in a male dominated business. I look forward to sharing my thoughts and experiences with everyone, where hopefully I can change the many opinions like the cable man had of individuals who work in such a prestigious profession.
