Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

Excuse this post title, but I just felt like I needed an Office quote.  Because I like to relate my job to that.  Even though it's a stretch.  But it makes me happy.  And I have some Office magnets up in my cubicle, aka power station.

Ok, & maybe I also need a picture of my true love.

Anywaaayyy...

I really went in prepared to hate the first two weeks of work while I was learning, & then I planned on liking it.  But actually, it's been much less overwhelming than I thought it would be.  And I actually like it.  And everyone is very friendly & funny.

So, day 1-4: better than expected.

day 5: rather shocking, actually.

10:45 am - Kelly comes to my desk & wants to talk to me.  We go to another room & she says there's a position open & they want to interview me for it.

11:30 am - interview

3:30 pm - promotion?  Crazy.  But really exciting.  

Just happened to start at a good time.  And not that I don't like what I'm doing now & think that I'm definitely competent at it, but I think I'll be so much better at this new position.  It's more of a marketing position.

This whole thing...the job opening, the interviews, the move, & all of it happening in like a week...it's just all felt so right.  I have felt 100% at peace with the whole thing.  And that's not like me.  I don't really get in a hurry.  It's just clearly a God thing.

I feel like I've been where God's wanted me for the past year...but it hasn't always been where I wanted to be.  I was content knowing that that was where He wanted me, but knew that it wasn't where He would keep me.  Now I really feel like I'm on the road to being where I want to be.  And I love that.

I wanted a job that I would enjoy, & a place to live that would feel like home.  I already have both of those.  And so much more.  I never dreamed that moving away from home would put me in a place that already felt homey because some of my best friends live close.  That in itself makes the transition so much easier, & makes the waiting so worth it.

Example:

Last night, Kelly & I had craft night at my apartment.  And just good, genuine conversation.  Tonight I went to Cait's parents' for dinner.  Borrowed a dress from Cait.  Because I can do that now.  Because I'll see her.  Without driving a few hours.  And tomorrow, we're going to church together.  We can be church friends again.  I love all of these things.
