Catch up time!

It has been a while since I have made an entry, but with good reason. Over the past 2+ weeks, I have moved and settled into my new house, along with having the craziest week at work I have ever had. Plus, I am terrified of getting the pig plague, so I have been doing my best to catch up on sleep and get as much Vitamin C as I can.

I love my new place! I have done my best to make it MY home, and I think that helps. I am so excited to show it off and have all of my friends visit. I cant wait for them to come! There is still a lot of work to be done, but I am excited to start having grown-up projects. Now if I just had the money to do them all….

Last week, our newest employee started at work, so I am happy to not be the new kid anymore. I actually felt more like part of the team than ever before. Although, I am kind of sad that I am not the newbie because that was my excuse to not know anything, and now I have some competition so they better not give him better projects to work on! However, I am so excited to have someone my own age there that I can relate to. We have a lot in common so I think we will be great friends.

Tuesday was my official 3-month mark at work. I must say, it has gone by much faster than I would like and I don’t know if I have much to show for it. Everything here seems so foreign to me, and every day I see how much I still don’t know. Being the overachiever I am, that is hard to grasp. Last week I got to spend time with some people at the company out of the office which was a great time to get to know them better, especially the founders. I am amazed with their wealth of knowledge both about our industry and business in general. In one of my conversations with one of the big guys, he asked me if I was settling in to the area for good since I just purchased a home. Of course, I am not, and I think I now know what their plans are for me here. We are looking to expand, which I knew because I did some research on it. What I didn’t know is where we were planning on expanding to. He asked if I would ever be willing to go to Atlanta- is that even a question??? So I am thinking that they are grooming me for a few years, and when I am ready, and when they are ready, they might send me down there to start up the new region. That excites me and terrifies me at the same time! For now I need to concentrate on making it through each day, but it is nice to know what possibilities there are for the future.

Well I now feel that I am at a point where I can start making my life here. I am settled in a new area with so many opportunities. Now I just need to take advantage of them. So here it goes…
