happy happy happy.

This past Tuesday, June 4th, was the turning point for me since my arrival here. No more moving in phase, that chapter is over. This next week it was all about being, BACK TO WORK. I knew it was time to suit up and earn some kind of living out here. It was just too soon. Tuesday I came home from my first shift around 4:15pm and told Zach and my mom that my legs felt like they were broken. After going non-stop and then back to work and standing on my feet all day, I was exhausted. So after I complained for an hour I decided to sleep, and then sleep some more until the next day. It was wonderful. That's probably why I wasn't socially active for the past two days. But with all that said,  I actually enjoy working. Day two came and went in a breeze. It's not so bad after all.

Yesterday morning was awesome. I met up with a friend from back home to have lunch. Just a week before the move I got a hold of her asking if she would use me as a second shooter, I'm talking photography here not guns. Amazingly enough she said yes and I will be assisting her at the end of the month. I am ecstatic! If you do or don't know, the one thing I would love to do is photography. I have just struggled with knowing where and how to start, but I am definitely ready and going to do whatever it takes to get my practice in. And my friend is willing to help me, which I am very excited for and even more grateful.

While in the hype of everything I got even more advice from my sister-in-law, who is a photographer and takes beautiful pictures. She's been a great help as well with answering my questions and giving me advice. Thank you Alisha!

I have more to thank her for though...Today I had the opportunity to be interviewed at the Marriott Vacations Worldwide. Both my brother-in-law and sister-in-law have worked in the call center before, and Mike still works for the company in a higher division though. I have to thank Mike and Alisha for helping me out and being on the phone with me when I had questions and concerns, they gave me words of advice and with their knowledge and help, I got the job. Woot woot! It was the most intense interview I've experienced (not that there have been many) but I had three people asking me questions, then I sat with another lady at her cubical, then back to the HR for more paperwork and questions...once I walked out the doors after being there for two hours I RAN to my car to take a deep breath. I am just so happy and once again, thankful...even after having to pee in a cup, it's still worth it.

Zach took me out to Cafe Rio to celebrate...one of our favorites.
