New Job

"I made the economic crisis my boyfriend"- Josh Terry

So as some of you know I started a new job recently.. this past Thursday to be exact. So far, i LOVE LOVE it. It is so perfect and I couldn't be more happy about it.

This past year I have been really stubborn with starting a job. I didn't want to get a job just to say I have a job. I wanted to start a career, in something I love. I suppose you could say I was being selfish about it. With this mentality it meant I had had to live penny to penny, dollar to dollar these past couple months. I didn't have an extra cent to spend on something other then bills and gas, so my shelf in the pantry has been a little bare for quite awhile. But when I got the call last Tuesday and was offered the position I couldn't have been more happier. I'd be lying if I said I didn't shed a little tear. I am so happy that I was stubborn and waited.

I am the Program Director for the Village Health & Spa.. or Sport Club out in Verrado. Its a little bit of a drive, so there is the possibility of a move, but I am not too worried about that right now, one thing at a time. For those that keep asking what it is I stole the summary of the job from the job posting.. so here is a little bit of what I will do.
