busy little bee

Hi friends. How are you? I'm fine. Well, to be honest I'm exhausted. I've been running around like a mad woman, getting ready for the holidays and interviewing for what I like to refer to as my "dream job." Seriously, it's my dream job. And guess what? I got it. I landed my dream job. I couldn't be happier. I had to jump through a lot of hoops to reach my goal. From personality tests to second and third interviews, I almost feel like I need a vacation after all of that! ;)

In all seriousness, I am so grateful. I cannot believe this is happening to me. When I got the call I was feeling a bit low. After my third interview I was told I would have to wait 2 more weeks to hear back and to be honest, I wasn't too thrilled about waiting that long. I was anxious. I was nervous. I was a whole mix of emotions. I was expressing my anxiousness to my husband, we were standing outside, he started hugging me and telling me I would hear something soon... and then my phone started ringing. I looked at my phone with slight confusion as I tried to make out the number. Is this someone I know? I hesitated for a moment and then started jumping up and down. I was so excited, I almost forgot to pick up. 5 rings in I answered with a high pitched, overwhelmingly excited, "Hello." It had been 20 minutes since I left my interview. I was congratulated over the phone and accepted their offer. Tears started to roll in and my husband began twirling me around in his arms. Kissing me on the cheek and telling me he knew I'd get it all along. 

I would just like to give a big shout out to my family and friends who've supported me throughout this dream catching journey. I am so blessed to have such an amazing support system. Not to mention, I may have married into one the best families ever! Dan's family is incredible and it feels so nice to live close to them. 

So here's to following your dreams, living life with passion and never giving up!
