Changes

I can't believe that, yet again, it has been an inexcusable length of time since my last blog post. I really must get back on the wagon of consistent blog posting. A lot has happened and a lot of changes have occurred since September. Let's start at the beginning.

About 2 pages after the post that is previous to this one I received a phone call from NHS (Northwestern Human Services). Completely out of the blue since I had interviewed with them about a month and a half prior to recieving this phone call. With that said I was fully expecting the ever familiar 'sorry but the position has been filled' crap that comes with the territory of looking for a job. Well, I was quite wrong and pleasantly surprised. It was a job offer to be a Drug and Alcohol Case Manager. Are you kidding me?! Thank you so much!! I won't let you down!! This is so wonderful!! Thank you again and see you soon!! That is exactly what was said during that particular Friday afternoon. Quickly after hanging up the phone reality set in, holy shit...I have a job??.....in the Pocono's?? Mur is going to be pissed.....Thankfully Mur was much more supportive than I thought or even anticipated. And here I am, 6 days short of working there for 2 months and I love it!! My days are filled with trainings, paperwork, and lots and lots of people. I can honestly say that I never expected to like working with people who are suffering from addiction so much. Right now, life is good.

I have also had my birthday since my last post. I'm officially 1/4 century and I have never been more aware of life, friends, career or the boyfriend. It's weird and I'm not really sure what to think. Weird. But anyway, I went to Chicago to visit Brad and Tiff and it was amazing!! A lot of catching up, eating, drinking, and going out. Such a great time with some new great memories! <3

Lauryn and I also threw Jennelle her Baby Shower. Lauryn did the majority of the planning and took the lead in making sure that everything went off without a hitch. She did a great job and Jennelle seemed to have a good time. Now the next big event will be when Conar William finally comes out to greet us and the rest of the world.

In other news, Marcus is still in the process of applying for the Airforce. His interview is tentatively schedule for March but even so he won't know if he gets in or not until May. So, in the mean time he is looking for a job that is in the Pocono's so we can end this living 3 hours apart arrangement. If you know of anyone that is looking to hire an engineer let me know!!

Other than that I think you're now updated on everything. I'm gonna try to update more often during the week and perhaps write an entire post on the different office personalities that I work with. They are an....interesting....group of people. Working with a group of therapists is an experience that is for sure.
