So this week I have not one, but TWO job interviews. My first interview is tomorrow, in Winston-Salem and it's actually a second interview ( :) :) :) :) ), which means that they must REALLY like me. I would be working in with substance abuse clients, as opposed to mental health...which would definitely be a change for me. I also have another interview on Thursday for a place in the Asheville area. To top that off, I decided that since I'm going to be around Asheville anyways, I would go ahead and try to visit the venue I'm wanting to have my wedding at in order to ensure that it's just as quaint, beautiful and perfect in person as it is online (you can't ever REALLY judge things from online!) I'll be staying with friends the next few nights, so needless to say it'll be a busy (and tiring) week.
I also had one more positive thing happen on the job front...I got an e-mail from a lady that I interviewed with a couple of weeks ago. She basically said that while they are still reviewing candidates, they will not know anything until the end of the month. She went on in the e-mail to mention "let's keep in touch" and that she is sure I am having other interviews, and she wants me to let them know my plans, more or less. Which sounds VERY promising to me, and that also happens to be the job that I want. Hopefully, God willing, I will get a couple of great offers and will have to turn somebody down...I've NEVER had to do that before ever, but I think that's definitely a great position for me to be in!
Other than that, the beginning of wedding planning has already begun, I am debating over whether to have an engagement party (and WHEN to do it ) because Matt and I both unanimously want a smaller wedding (about 75 people max). When I really think about it, I can't imagine having too many more people, because I think it would feel like it had lost some of its intimacy that way. I want our wedding to be more about us, than about just inviting every single person we know, and truthfully, that's how I feel weddings should be--about the couple, and not just about hosting a really big, expensive party. I will be VERY happy if I do go with this one venue, as it is all-inclusive which means less of a headache! :)
Matt is starting back school on Wednesday, and with that will also bring some changes. His work schedule has changed, and he will be working a lot more on the weekends, especially Sundays, which kinda stinks because Sunday is usually the one day that we spend entirely together. Speaking of spending time together, I think this week will mark the FIRST time in our relationship that we've gone more than a day or two without seeing each other. I realize that that might not sound significant, but we just really enjoy being together. I don't think I've ever had as much fun with a guy before as I do with Matt. I did get to see him today before heading to Raleigh to stay overnight with my friend, and I will see him Friday night when I get home and he gets off work, but as much as I'm excited about this week of interviews, getting to catch up with old friends, and prospects, it's a little bit sad we don't get to see each other much this week. There are definitely a lot of big changes coming up in this upcoming year, and I'm excited to see what happens next.
