New Year- New EVERYTHING!

So wow! What a miserable end 2008 but it has definitely turned around in 2009. While home for the holidays Jarrad's step-dad suggested I try something- writing down a date and setting a deadline for when I had to have a job. So I decided, OK, I'm going to set the bar high. I gave myself a deadline of January 15th which meant that with the new year holiday not being over until the 5th, I really had to get cracking. Not to mention, the 4.5 hours I drove in silence with my hubby in the back seat really gave me so time to be with God, to pray to God, to BEG God for help and he knew it was time. So I went for it. I pushed those people that I was must interested in working for and on January 7th I had an interview with this awesome new social media agency- Ignite Social Media.

Will they like me, does my blogging know-how and the fact that I taught myself the ins and outs...but is that enough, there's so much more to social media and I have a lot to learn...but I had to try. So I left the interviewing knowing they liked me(only because they told me) but who knew what that meant. Luckily I didn't have to wait too long to find out. By 9:00 that night I received a phone call while standing in the produce section at Walmart. "Why don't you come give us a try?" Oh those glorious words. My persistence paid off- did I mentioned I'd applied for a position there earlier and didn't get it? They gave it to someone within the agency, but I'm so glad I decided to continue pursuing.

I started work the next day and what can I say about the individuals I work with? They all have unique personalities, they're all hilarious, they're all so very creative, they're all geeks and nerds (not the socially awkward kind)- so in other words, they're MY KIND OF PEOPLE! I love it, I'll fit right in!

So for now I've got a dinner to cook and I hope to get the postings going again. Until then...HAPPY NEW YEAR!
