After exactly 7 months of ....

Tears & breakdowns (OK, there were some ups, let's not be so dramatic Faith) I was offered a job. I knew that I would hear either a yes or no yesterday and kept on replaying things in my head on what I thought would happen. I had another interview yesterday too which I thought went very well so I kept telling myself that if I got a no at least there was a chance that I still could be offered employment.

Well I got that phone call yesterday and this girl was offered a job! I am a soon to be State Disability Analyst but my start date is contingent on my drug test and background check. That just means, I'll report with a start date very soon.

And hey, if I am offered another job I think there will be lots of room for negotiations! ;)

I just want to thank you all so much for your love, support and prayers. You have no idea how much they have meant to me.

Few things thing I have learned through this experience is that:

God is always there, He is always there. He did not want me to settle so He made sure that it didn't happen. Positions that I thought were perfect, companies that I thought were perfect, He did not find the same way so He allowed rejection after rejection. He also made sure that I had seven months of Netflix and chilling on my couch. If that doesn't show how good He is I don't know what does.

Friends and family are your sanity. They can make you laugh when you want to cry. They can tell you to stop feeling sorry for your self and you know they're right. They can FaceTime you and laugh when they see how horrible you look and you have no choice but to join in because, damn, you look freaking awful.

Husbands, good husbands will beg you to spend money to go out, to go shopping, to do anything because you sulking on the couch, watching yet another new show on Netflix is just not fun and he knows that new stilettos will always bring a smile to your face. And their shoulders are always good to cry on. Oh and if they add a few trips here and there, don't let go.

Your blog friends. Although you've never met them they'll send you texts and emails just to check up on you to ensure that you aren't eating a big pint of ice cream in one sitting after the many rejections. Emily, I feel that I have to give you a separate thank you. Your texts really became something I looked forward to. The videos of Dominic and the one in particular where he said "Good Night Faith" seriously was the best. And anytime I was feeling a little down I always replayed it.

So yeah, I'm ready to not have time to blog. Like I can't wait.

Although I'm sure in a month I'll be wishing I had time and energy to finish just one episode of House ;). Which is funny. I really should be Netflix'd out considering the amount of shows I watched in seven months. So not healthy.

And for those of you who are still looking for work please know that your job is out there, don't give up. I am praying for you. I know it is not fun to wake up daily to apply to 10+ jobs (that is seriously a job in itself) and hear nothing in return and wonder why these companies can't see what a great candidate you are. Just be persistent and keep at it. It eventually will happen. In the meantime, try (as hard as it may be, they were right) to enjoy your downtime.

Happy Weekend y'all! ♥
