Grateful x3 and a new job!

ive been slacking on my gratitude challenge--as in posting about it, i HAVE been actually doing it! ;)
so 3 things i need to blog on:

1. Sending 5 thank you notes to people in my life. i REALLY enjoyed this more than i thought i would! taking the time to write them made me feel so much love for the people i was sending them to, and appreciate them more. and the responses i got back made it even more worth it! :)

2. Enjoying the people around me-- yesterday was a day of running around BUT i definitley got to enjoy the people around me (and kinda far but kinda near to me too!) FIRST thing in the morning i heard from claire,oh claire--the sister i never had, i adore her and miss her so much! shes in NC with her husband nick (hence the near to me but kinda far at the same time thing)-- SHES EXPECTING! their first baby! it brought tears to my eyes and absolutley started my day off on the right foot, i am SO happy for her. and wish so badly we lived closer so i could be a part of this babys life! i felt honored that she told me so soon :) i ALSO got to have lunch with my husband,and my in-laws! i feel like i never see them these days, i guess maybe since i used to live with them lol--i miss them alot, and i truly am blessed with the best in-laws so im SO glad i got to spend that time with them :)

3. todays challenge!-- one of my senses that i am grateful for today is: hearing- i had so much to listen to today! i had an interview, followed up by a phonecall to a friend ABOUT an interview, speaking to my new boss (who has a hard time with english) i REALLY had to listen hard, chit chatting with mom and aunt becky and hearing the coolest stories about God, and going to Mass Class tonight :)



moving on....YES i DID say my new boss ;) i DID accept a job today! i'll be working for a realtor! im very nervous about it, but i think because its different, and out of my comfort zone.
1. its an office out of his home- but he has 5 other employees, a VERY nice home,and a super nice office set up.
2. his english is very difficult to understand-which is why he's hiring me. he was telling me he really needed an American to help expand his business.
3.its real estate-i have zero experience or knowledge in this field.

im very nervous. but i called my moms bestfriend from highschool,who is in real estate to see if she knew him...well small world..he works for her! she laughed so hard :) ! she told me definitley take it, ill be working with her and her staff, be the face of HIS realty, and could very well become indispensable to him. she said i could really learn alot, and its not a bad skill to have, and if i decide i want to pursue this business shell help me. realty assistants can make anywhere from 15-20 bucks an hour, woooo! ;)
so i decided to step out of my comfort zone and take it-but i am SO SO nervous about it. i keep telling myself it was meant to be- Aunt Becky told me she prayed for me in Adoration this morning, MIL was praying for me on her way to work asking God to let me know if this is the job for me, and then my moms bestfriend from highschool is his boss? i had to take it! im following God on this one.
i start tomorrow (which means NO 4am wake ups anymore PRAISE THE LORD!) i hope it goes well!
one good thing, its 8-5 Mon-Fri, and almost exactly 3 min from my house, 2 miles or less-SO CLOSE. so i can come home and eat lunch,save money, let the dogs out, get an hour long lunch break-woo!

i really really really hope this works out. pray for me!

i had to go get more clothes (seriously had to) bc i didnt really have any 'business woman' clothes ;) i went to ross and got a ton of cute stuff so im excited :)! even got my first lil dress suit blazer thing that is SUPER cute! and a dress too! im trying hard to break out of the tshirt and jeans kelly,and move more toward the married sophisticated and classy kelly lol ;) hard habit to break though! ima souther girl tom boy...always have been!

hubs just got home from the braves game and its already after 10:30-i need to go to bed soon! so im gonna hang with him and the pups and then hit the hay!

God Bless!
