Working Woman!!

That's right... Ladies and Gentlemen- I finally got a job! A J-O-B. I got one! YAY! I was pretty bummed out when I went in for an interview last Monday at the Liberty Center [[kind of like a "rec center" for single sailors]] and never got the call back... I didn't get the job. On Friday I was just waiting for my best friend, Sam and her little girl, Sophia to get here when at 11 am I get a phone call from a temp agency that I got on with a couple months ago and they say they think they might have something for me... I could have the interview if I could be there by 1:30... So- I jumped in the shower, got dressed, put on my make up, did my hair, steamed my business suit and headed into Hanford. The interview was for the position of the receptionist for the purchasing dept for the local hospital and it went SOOOO good! I honestly felt like I already worked there. At about 4 PM I got a call back setting up a second interview for this morning [[Monday]] which also went AWESOME and got the call at about 5 PM tonight that the job was mine. I'm so excited, I'm going to be working from 8:30-5, Monday thru Friday- How perfect is that?! One draw back- NO VACATION... AT ALL! NONE! So that's pretty disappointing, especially since we were gonna be going home after Matt's surgery [[on June 23rd]] for a week or so aaaaand now I can't go, BUT I do know that in the long run this is what's right for us. I can't wait to get our debt paid off, it shouldn't take very long, AT ALL... and I can't wait to start saving some monay =) Finally! Anyways, I should be starting in the middle of next week. I have to wait for my background check to clear and when that happens I have to go in for my TB test- that takes two days, and when that comes back good- I'll start that day. We're thinking probably Wednesday or Thursday of next week. YAY! AND my mom called me tonight to let me know that she was going to be sending me a check and buying me all new work clothes, how awesome is that?! I told her she didn't have to do anything like that and she insisted! Ah, it'll be so nice to go clothes shopping, its been too long!

Sam and Sophia came up and spent the weekend with us... It was so nice to have them here. I'm so blessed to have both of them in my life- I don't know what I would do without Sam. She is seriously the best friend anyone could ever ask for. We didn't do anything crazy or super exciting, but the weekend was perfect. We just hung out on Friday, but on Saturday Matt, Sam, Sophie, & I went out for lunch [[mmmmmmmm! mexican food!]] then came back to base so the baby could take a nap, then us girls went to down town Hanford and walked around. I love all the thrift stores, clothing boutiques & antique shops... its so cute down there- it reminds me of Prescott! Aaaand on the way home we got everything we needed to make sundaes and then ordered pizza for dinner =) OOOOOH, AND- Sam brought Matt and I chimi's from our favorite restaurant at home [[Tony's]] And they were just absolutely AMAZING, yuuuummmmy!

Anyways, Just a quick little update =) Things have just been great lately! I can't wait to start working... omg, I don't even know what it feels like to work anymore- Its honestly been about a year since I truely worked full time.... geeeesh!

I'm outta here for now! Love to those of you reading this because you care! XoXo
