What a day . . .

So the title is actually slightly misleading. I wanted to update about this weekend THEN I'll get to the goings on of today.

Sunday we moved to Red Wing!! The big move happened & it was great. Well the move itself was ridiculously hot. 93 degrees with a heat index of 102. Moving in that ish was terrible!! But as I said on my FB status update, my family is the best! We had some really great helpers with a little joke from Mike's mom Wendy at the end of the move - she asked if we were going to sign a contract stating we will stay in this place for at least 2 years. Hah. Who could blame her?! We move so often!

A big thanks again to Liz, Todd, Laura, Wendy, Eric, Tom, & Amy!  And to Wendy - thank you so much for the wonderful lunch complete with brownie treats you provided everyone. You're the best.

Back to today's craziness . . .

It was a rough day at work as I have felt like I have mono again recently.  By that I mean I have felt fatigued like crazy the last few days with no idea why. I'm guessing it's this terrible weather.

Anyways, I interviewed for a position I was really interested in on Monday afternoon and recieved a call back and a job offer! I have accepted a full-time position in Red Wing and I will be soon joining Mikey in Red Wing in 2 weeks!! I feel so relieved to have accepted a position finally and to not have to interview anymore! I have officially applied for over 10 positions, interviewed for 6, and been offered 6 in the past 2 months. Pretty exciting when people take notice of the hard work put in and offer positions rather than look past you and 200 other applicants. This happened often when I was searching for new positions in the TC in the social service field. The market is just so competitive right now in Mpls/St Paul. No disrespect, but man am I glad we are getting outta dodge and doing something new for a change.

Also today, Mike finished his most recent guitar creation - his first lap steel guitar - made fully from his own imagination and hard work. Below are a few pictures of his amazing work.  As you can tell, I am ridiculously proud!!!

This thing of beauty was made for and given to Mike's parents neighbor, Jerry.  It was his first commission piece and I know he feels good about it. Jerry seemed thoroughly impressed. It was a great success and I cannot wait to see what else Mike can do. Both at school and on his own time.

To my goofball of a bestie - I love you & I am so proud of you!

To round out the interesting day, we had dinner at Mongos with two of our favorites, Laura & Eric (and got to see our chunky monkey, Kaleb before and after dinner).  Was lots of fun and a nice way to celebrate some great things happening in our lives. Thanks for the laughs Laura & Eric!

Thanks again to my followers - all 4 of you ;)
