making it

I'm gonna be real.... those first 2 weeks I thought I was going to have a stroke.  Learning all of this new stuff has been a challenge.  Something clicked at the end of that 2nd week though and isn't as scary anymore.  I have made a couple of work friends that have offered to help with any questions I have, and I absolutely have let go of the pride in order to save my sanity.  In other words, I have accepted their help.

It's rough being in a whole new big city without Herbie.  I have his parents, but they are his parents... so I haven't really been able to just explore the city with them.  I realize that it will all come together.  Hopefully only 2 more weekends in Nashville and we'll be able to be here together and learn the city.  (he lived here forever, but Marietta is way too nice... we gotta explore Decatur, Little 5 points, etc together...!)

Also, if you're the praying, sending thoughts or vibes or energy, please send some of that my way.  I think I'm getting sick and I can't have that happen right now.  There is too much going on for me to deal with that!

oh yeah

Oh yeah, I got the job.
I started on 7/16.  This is my 2nd week.

It's the hardest thing I've ever done.  This job isn't child's play.  I have needed more challenge.  I'm getting it.  I figure nothing comes easy and anything worth having, you have to work hard for it.  Or so I've always heard.

I fell in love with a house and almost put a contract on it.  But then I freaked out and said "OMG this job is hard.  I better be here 3-4 months to make sure they keep me on board and to just make sure that I am cut out for it all!" So yeah, I just gotta be patient. 

In the meantime, we are gonna rent something.  Can't live with Herbie's parents for 3-6 months.... and that's ok.  We'll just rent and it'll all work out.
