Job Have I!!

This past week has been really crazy. Monday had absolutely beautiful weather. I turned in the forms only to find I had done one of them wrong. Due to my roommate's health I couldn't make it back up there until the next morning. ha! Tuesday was cold and only the beginning. The place lost their server and closed the office, so I didn't go in. Same thing on Wednesday, only I did venture out - after all my girls were playing ;-) This is me in my four layers of clothing. The green/gold is my scarf. I dressed for the weather. Brrr! Of course my Baylor bears won!
I turned in everything Thursday and appreciated being out of the house. However, the next morning I woke up to this:
While it is pretty, it caused frustrations. They started calling my references but was unable to get ahold of some. I had given them business contacts and the offices were closed. Since they were on a time limit, they wanted someone else. So I hurriedly called in a friend to say nice things about me. The weather also caused the party to be cancelled - sadness! But, I made my Caramel Apple Pie anyway: Tasty, eh? Please excuse the lack of presentation, but it tastes better than it looks (at least that's what the critics said).
So in case you don't know, I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!! YAY!!! Praise the Lord!!!! And I started today!! WHAT?!?! So exciting and nerve-wracking. Best part is: I get my very own office. Um, yes please! This also means I now have to decorate my very blank walls. Anyone wanting to help is WELCOME! I'm planning on hanging my diplomas on the wall and my license once I get it. I also have to go dig my books out of storage since I have a place to display them. So much to do! AHH!! I'm really excited and enjoy working with the other people in the office. It's only four of us plus two interns. We're a satellite office based out of Round Rock so there will be trips there occasionally. I'm working at a Counseling center that provides free counseling to at-risk youth, families, and children. We have a contract with the state for it. It's excited and overwhelming at times as I have so much to learn. For now, I'm trying to figure out the best ways to decorate - putting lots of personal pics is not always ideal, but soothing tones are a plus. I forgot to take a pic of the office, but I will before decorating will commence. I figure it'll take awhile before it looks like I want it to. I'm very grateful for this opportunity! While it wasn't the first job I applied for, it's where God wants me right now. So, for now that's all I have. Even though I've held a couple of jobs since college, I think this is definitely my most grown up. While I had a desk in Florida, it was a room shared with up to three people, so having an office I can decorate to myself is exciting!

Up High:I GOT A JOB!!
Down Low: Real world adventure begins
I might be changing my post date in the near future till another day of the week as Monday's may be too much for me.
