getting ahead of ourselves...

so.... 

i responded to a job posted on ksl.com recently for a receptionist position. got a call, and they wanted to interview me. on my birthday. i was okay with that. mostly because of how desperate i am for a new job. so i interviewed on my birthday. got along so well with the girl that interviewed me. that was last friday (uh, my birthday, duh) and then on monday, or maybe tuesday, i sent her an email. an email that basically said "i really want this job and will do practically anything to get it. just so you know". she loved it. i got called in for a second interview with one of the owners. got major points for being early. got major points for the email. and was told several times throughout the interview, by him, that i was doing a good job. sweet! today, they asked if i would go sit in with the current receptionist and just observe. you know, to make sure it's really what i wanted. so i did. for an hour. and i had a blast. called the girl back, told her how much i loved it, told her i wanted the job even more so now, after the hour i spent with that awesome staff, and she offered me the job on the spot. WAHOO!!!!

a lot of this feel likes "finally". i am so happy to have finally found something new! i have nothing but good things to say about my old job, but when you're unhappy about going to work every day? you're doing it wrong. i hate the idea of working for the weekend. if i'm going to spend more time at work then i will at home with my husband, then freak. i better enjoy it. 

and this place. a family owned company w/ a few locations around the county... they're awesome! i am so excited to be a part of this. i know, it's just a receptionist position, but it's what i wanted. as silly as that may sound. but it's what i need. and it means we can finally start making these other big things happen! 

i got the call while devin and i were on our way to his parent's house tonight, and was thrilled enough to cry (but i didn't). and then we got some j-dawgs. mostly because we didn't want to cook because we're lazy. but in my head, it was to celebrate my new job. because i like to celebrate. we came home and started looking at the pamphlet from the apartment we want, and we started measuring around our house to get an idea of the room sizes. and then we started sorting through things, making a D.I. pile, and talking about moving arrangements (like who has trucks, and time to help us move, so we can do it in 1 day), and we started talking about how we would pack things and where they would go, and talked about decorating our new apartment (i'm so excited!!) needless to say, we may be getting a little bit ahead of ourselves...

and we may be getting a puppy for Christmas... (if i have my way, at least) :)

i am so excited and so ready for this change. draper will be a breath of fresh air, and it will force us to make new friends and get out of our comfort zones. i'm excited to make the changes that have seemed necessary for so long, but have also seemed unattainable. 

things are happening!
