96 Hours of Beer on the Wall.. 96 Hours of Beer..

[[Clarification: 96 hours .. UNTIL I MOVE!]]

How crazy fast did THAT happen!? Interview Wednesday, job offered Friday, apartment searched yesterday, applied & approved in an hour! CRAZINESS! Moving on Monday!

I am so fortunate to have the very wide spread, totally kick-ass, support system that I do!  I received text messages from a bazillion people yesterday offering help, advice, and a dinner date once I move in to my new place! 

My mom (!) came with me yesterday (and when I say she came WITH me.. I mean she drove from our house 4 hrs east of my new place, while I drove from my apartment 4 hours west of my new place) just to help me sort through details, pick out apartments, and make sure I didn't get lost/wreck my car/completely embarrass myself (that last one was key).  It was a FABULOUS day, and I'm so glad I got to spend the time with my mamabear, she's pretty fabulous.  And she's probably more excited about I am than this move, because it brings me so much closer to home (let me tell ya, 150 miles in the car beats 400 miles, NO DOUBT).

So, amongst my apartment searching and catching up with my mom, I got to meet my new boss in person (yes, I did the phone interview thing).  For the first few minutes while I waited to meet her I thought, "What if I had a tattoo on my face? What if she thinks I'm a crazy person in real life? What if .." Nonetheless, we met, she was great, our conversation was great, and the day was. just. great. 

I'm so excited to be working for a cause I'm passionate about, while working with people who are just as equally passionate.  And when I say just as equally passionate, I am SERIOUS.  This girl is AWESOME. 

While I was driving myself home (and myself CRAZY over everything happening the next few days) I realized that this weekend will be FULL of celebrations! YAY for birthdays & going away parties smushed all up into one! BOOM! And then once I got home, Sunshine gave me an early birthday present (because let's face it, I got home and shed a tear or two.. I know.. puke. because it's going to royally SUCK to leave him in this sleepy little town).  BUT LOOK WHAT I GOT!

 my. heart. melted. duh.

So, cheers to new beginnings! If this could all happen in 7.2 days.. what the heck could happen in the next 7.2 days!? We could cure cancer, go skydiving, build a fort! TONS OF POSSIBILITIES

Adventure is out there!
