Thanks(giving)

First of all, I just wanted to say thanks to anyone who read this and was praying for me (or for anyone who didn't read it and prayed for me anyway!),  because I appreciate it.

Second of all, I wanted to say that I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!

I got the phone call and verbal job offer this morning, which I accepted, and a written job offer will follow. I won't start until basically the beginning of next year (Jan 2 or thereabouts) to help cover vacations at our branch. But YAY yay yay I got the job! I'm so excited!!! (I know that comes as a real shock!) I think, to celebrate, I am going to buy some new work shoes soon (I needed some anyway, but now I'll do it celebratorily), and maybe go out to dinner with my wonderful husband. Not tonight or anything, since we're going to get more than enough food tomorrow, but possibly soon.

So, thanks once again, and yay!!

Second Interview Update

Second interview went well. I have a good feeling. Three people in on the interview this time, interviewers A and B from the first interview, as well as one other person (the one I would be assisting). I think they liked me, and from the way they were talking it sounded like they want to offer me the position. They said I would know in the "near future," so hopefully that means soon! I will of course keep you posted.

Here's a difference between Wisconsin and Southern California - in CA, the weekend before Thanksgiving is just another weekend, getting us closer to the holidays. In WI, the weekend before Thanksgiving means open season for deer hunting! Church was 2/3 empty, and I only had three kids in my Sunday School class! Opening weekend is a big deal out here. I told Adam before we got married, I'm never going to protest him hunting, but I'm also never going to go hunting out there with him in the cold, so we have an understanding :) I'm working on finishing Adam's hunting scarf, so he can use it when he goes out Thanksgiving after we eat.

Well, that's about it for now. I will let you know when I know about the position! :-)
