FRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!

What an insane week this has been....

Princess Em turned FIVE!

There was a tornado just Southeast of Salem!

In passing conversation my grandma informed my sister that her mom (our great grandma) had passed away at the end of SEPTEMBER... Not sure how I feel about it... She was in her nineties, and I think I have seen her three times in my entire life, the last time being when I was ten or twelve... But I'm still sorry for my grandma's loss (so please don't take my lack of emotions wrong).

I had a shitty interview on Monday. It was honestly a waste of a drive to Tigard...

Thursday was a different story... I had an interview in Aloha for a wonderful Data Entry/Customer Service job. It went spectacularly! And it seems like the perfect job for me. I left the interview feeling great, and felt even better when I got back to work to find my two close friends/co-workers (Renee and Tucks) whispering in Tucks' office. I poked my head in and Tucks told me they were just talking about me. Turns out the woman I had interviewed with had already called them to check my references! This news just pumped me up like there was no tomorrow. And then came the unbearable waiting....

The woman who interviewed me told me she hoped to have a decision by Friday or Monday depending on how quickly references got back to her. By mid-morning Friday I was chomping at the bit so I texted all of my listed references pleading with them that they call her back if she calls them. By about noon I was dying of impatience and almost buckled; deciding to call her and check the status. Some how I managed to refrain from that idiotic impulse (it hadn't even been twenty four hours since my interview). I finally just left my cell on my desk (watched pot never boils == watched cellphone never rings?). Around a quarter after one I heard my phone beep like it had either a picture message or a missed call. I went bounding from the bookkeeping office to my front office and snagged my phone so quickly I am shocked I didn't drop the damn thing. Sure enough, there it was, a missed call. I checked the number and my heart started pounding. I forced myself to wait for the voice mail. I knew there would be one, and I frantically checked it as soon as the "new voice mail" thing popped up on my phone. It was her! I called her back and she asked if I was still interested in the job. I responded with an "absolutely!" And she proceeded to inform me they wanted to hire me! I thanked her a million times and thought I was going to scream in excitement.

So yea, I start my new job in two weeks. The scariest thing will be Monday when I put in my two weeks notice.... There will totally be a post about how that goes... But now I need to go take care of some other stuff...

Praise Jeebus I am free at last!!! They can't hurt me anymore!!!! I am FREE!!!! And I don't have to look for jobs or go to evil interviews anymore!!!

Oh, and did I mention, this means Collin and I are one step closer to moving to PORTLAND!!! (at this point it is looking like end of March or April!) We are so excited! =D

I told you this next year will be EPIC in a GREAT way!
