Finally!

Yesterday I had a really hectic day at work.  The two guys I work with were REALLY not getting along.  We have deadlines for when orders need to go out, and one guy was working on picking his and needed help to finish.  I ask the other guy to help him and he said he couldn't pick because his back was hurt (which was true) but also because he couldn't work with the guy.  So I was like, fine, I'll do it.  Oh man, it was a huge scramble.  The order was over 15,000 lbs of cleaning products...we worked through lunch and I realized at 2:15 that this order wasn't going out.  So I talked to our customer service lady and we moved the ship date to Monday.  Then I had two hours left to eat my lunch and get the rest of my work done that I hadn't got a chance to get to.  I never really understood why people were so excited about Fridays until I got this job.  At the end of the day I just want to drop to my knees and say TGIF!!

After that full crazy day, Justin picked me up, we got home.  I checked my email and there it was, an email from the school I'd been interviewing with:

Hi Candice,

I'm more than happy to offer you a position at Connect starting March 11th.

Praise the Lord!  I needed that so much!  I finally feel like I got the job, and the end is in sight!!  I am going to be a teacher!  I have wanted to get to this point every since I started tutoring in 2006.  Finally!

To celebrate we went to a thrift store (Justin knows me so well) and I got some really cute boots and some tops for teaching.  Then we went to all you can eat sushi, overly stuffed ourselves, came home and watched a new episode of Project Runway.  It was so wonderful to have a weight lifted off and know that I'll be teaching very soon!  Justin and I realized this morning that yesterday was also 8 years since we started dating.  haha we had no idea back then how significant our relationship was going to be!

Happy Saturday everyone, I just had to share my good news!!
