I made it to Madison. I left on Monday and it was so hard leaving Steve behind. I really hope he'll be able to join me up here soon.
I'm subleasing a basement apartment until November and I'm getting such a great deal and it's such a nice place. I have a shared entrance with the homeowners that live upstairs and they are the nicest family ever. They're a young couple (my age) with 4 kids under the age of 6. Seriously, this lady is a super mom! They are such kind people and often invite me up to have dinner with them.
When I got home last night I came down to my place to find some cookies sitting on my kitchen counter. It's really comforting to be living below such nice people since I'm here all alone and have been kind of lonely with missing Steve and Missy and her girls a lot. Anyway...so I feel REALLY blessed to be living in such a nice place and to have met such nice people.
I also met up with a new friend in the park yesterday. She is also a friend of a friend and moved to town not that long ago herself and has been calling wanting to get together. She's got a little 1 year old boy that is so cute!
So...really it hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be here. I've been busy with looking for jobs, getting acquainted with the area and meeting new people. So far I really like it here. I think the most homesick I've been was last night. I was going through some of my stuff and found some pictures that Hannah had drawn for me and got really sad. I think the single most difficult part of this moving deal is knowing that I'm not going to see those girls grow up. I miss them so much and can't wait until next month when I can go home and visit when Missy's has the next little one.
I had a job interview this morning that went well. They seem anxious to schedule a second interview with me, but I'm not so sure that I'm really interested in the job at this point. I don't want to be too picky since I really need a job, but I'm just not sure I'm up to working for this kind of company. It's a collection agency, my job would be assisting the VP, CEO and COO, so it's not like I would be calling and hounding people to pay off their debts, but I just hate debt so I think it would be a really depressing job for me to work for that kind of company. One of my passions is that one day I could help people get out of debt and teach them wise financial practices and budgeting and that sort of thing, so working for a collection agency just might be a job that I would hate not matter what my position was.
I have another interview this afternoon that I think I might enjoy more working as an assistant manager at GNC at one of the malls here. The pay wouldn't be as good and neither would the hours, but really I'd much rather be happy and poor then a little better off and miserable. I'm just kind of learning that I'm not really a corporate america girl. I like being around people and working in more of a retail setting where I'm interacting with people than an office setting where I'm just staring at a computer all day long. It's just too bad the hours and pay suck eh?
Anyway...so that's the update. More to come later.
