quick update...

Interview went great! (Thanks for all the happy thoughts and prayers.) I was asked to come back to another interview next week and then if that goes well, two more. I know right? Does it ever end?! But I feel relieved that I have gotten this far and I know that it will all be worth it, if they offer me the job.

Putting my best face forward...

I just finished my COPD presentation for my job interview tomorrow. Don't worry if you don't know what COPD is, because no one should really know what it is.(Unless you actually have it or in the hospice business like me.) Ok, not the point. The important thing is that I have an interview. It is with Heartland Home Health and Hospice for the Director of Admissions. I didn't actually apply for this job, a recruiter found my resume and career builder and called me last week. I had a long phone interview yesterday and then we set up a face to face for tomorrow. I was asked to bring my presentation for the interview.
The job, should I get it, would actually be a promotion over my last job. My last job was purely outside sales. This is more inside sales and a supervisor role. I would actually have people working underneath me and would be responsible for hiring employees to work under me. Which, I'm not gonna lie, would be AWESOME! I like that the position would have a sales component, but my whole job is not dependant on it. Cuase sales is hard! I like that I might have an office or at least a cubicle to call my own and a more stable schedule.
I spent most of the day putting together my presentation and I am tired. Tonight, I need to make copies of my resume and presentation and of course practice. I will also be rewarding myself with a new shirt for Banana Republic for the intervew. And maybe some jewlery.
Wish me luck and say a prayer. I know that I could use them.

Mountain Fun.

What do you do when you don't have jobs and you live in Colorado? Well... go to the mountains of course! Today, we got up (late for me), got dressed and took highway 6 west to the mountains. We ate lunch in Golden and just drove. Ohhing and Ahhing at the leaves changing and even seeing a tiny bit of snow up high. Finally we pulled over and walked down to the river. It was pretty awesome to be in driving distance of such a beautiful place. Here's what we saw.

I'm Here!

After THE longest 14 hours of my life, I made it to Lakewood, CO. My adorable husband greeted me with a warm hug and a kiss. And boy did I need it. After lugging all of our stuff up 3, count them, 3 flights of stairs we are officially moved in. There is still a lot to do. Things to buy, hang up and put away. But I love here. I really do. The altitude is a killer, but a small price to pay when your view is the mountains. This week, I am trying to "take a vacation" as I only took 4 days of paid time off last year. So, we'll see how I do with that. I have no pictures to post as of yet, but I promise to get on that ASAP! Thanks for all the prayers!

We are on our way!

As we speak, Chris is packing up the car for his trip tomorrow. Chris leaves at 5 am tomorrow morning. And I am sad to say the laptop is going with him. So this is my last post in Waco, Texas. Aww sad huh? Next time I sign on, I will be living in my new apartment in Lakewood, Colorado. I will be sure to post pictures of our apartment and other fun pictures with us and the rocky mountains the background.
Please pray that we have a safe journey and for our new adventure. I will update you soon!

Love.

Not a lot to post on people. Here are my thoughts for today.

Most of our worldly belongings are gone or packed.
All we have to eat are sandwiches. Ham or Turkey anyone?
Tired of people asking "So do you guys have jobs or anything to pay the rent with?"
We are going to see some of the most fabulous people this weekend in Houston.
I have the world's best husband. No kidding. He loves me like no other.
I'm want like 4 new pairs of shoes right now. Boots, 2 flats and heals.
Weather in Denver, is low 80s and high 70s. Sigh... perfection.
I am really pretty checked out from my job. I need to be better.
Feeling cautiously excited about some job prospects.
I think I'm ready for a new adventure, but sometimes I just cry.
Enough wasting time, need to get busy!

OOOOOOOO U!



Last Saturday, I went to my first ever OU football game. Chris and I had a great time. Here is my evidence of my first Boomer Sooner.
