It’s almost the end of the month and I’m just now getting around to writing in my blog. Oops. I seem to be doing that a lot more recently, but I think it’s mainly so I can wait until about the end and then talk about everything that happened. That, and I guess there’s no point in writing in the middle of the month unless something monumental happens, like I find a four-leaf clover or something.
But something did happen this month… what was it…? Oh, yeah! Lauren and Kat came to visit! It was magical! Kat drove over from Hannibal and Lauren flew down into Nashville from Wisconsin! Then Kat picked up Lauren from the airport, and we all met in Murfreesboro for dinner, and was the most magical time ever. We hung out, laughed, had fun, made wedding plans, and were basically our silly little selves. They stayed for about a week… Kat drove out the following Saturday and we took Lauren to the airport on Sunday. Now they’re gone and I have the sads.
While they were here, I finally started hearing back from a couple places about job potential. They weren’t interviews, but they were questionnaires following up my application. A couple days after I had submitted them, I heard back from one of the places and got an interview scheduled for the following Monday! It was my first interview, and I was immensely nervous, especially because I knew how unlikely it was for me to get a job on my very first try. (Okay, it wasn’t my first “try,” since I had applied to a lot of different places, but this was the first place that actually wanted anything beyond an initial phone interview or e-mail questionnaire.) So, I went to the interview in Murfreesboro, met Theo for lunch in Franklin at Panera, and received word that night that they wanted to hire me! I had said my availability was to start immediately, so on Tuesday, I headed into my first bona fide job! I work as an executive assistant to the two CEOs of a healthcare company, and so far, I really like it! I’m also making more than they offered in the initial listing! Weeee!
So, what else is new, you may ask? Well, today is a very special day. Why? It’s my grandma’s birthday! She’s turning 72 today! I may have only been her granddaughter for 25 of those years, but I know she’s pretty amazing. My grandmother has always been there for us, every single one of her grandchildren, whether they live across town or across the country. I have never felt unloved or unwanted or any less “special” to my grandparents because I grew up so far away from them. My grandparents have never forgotten a birthday, a Christmas, never fail to tell me how much they love me and how proud they are of me. I feel so lucky and blessed to have been given such amazing grandparents, and I honestly don’t know what I’d do or where I’d be without them. I love you both! Happy birthday, Grandma!!
