ITS OFFICIAL!!!! Long Distance No More!

Yesterday, I accepted a JOB in ILLINOIS! 

Here is the short version:

I move November 1.

I start work November 7.

I will be a professional agricultural recruiter (headhunter) for Rich Connell Agri-Search!

I AM SO EXCITEDDDDDD! (Ok, scared of out my mind, but PUMPED)

I already have a roommate and apartment... Yay!

I will be living 5 minutes away from Tyler in Tuscola.

Everything just fell together. Seriously, God has listened to my prayers, my madness, my anxieties, my struggles, and now I know He will guide me through this real transition.

I had no idea that when I created this blog that this would all happen so fast, but it did!

AHHHHH!!!!! 


Look what my sweet best friend sent me as a congratulations:

Seriously, Rebecca is the best!

Long version:

I have been working with a "headhunter" to help me get a job in IL since June. I have been applying to jobs in IL since January. After my interview in June, my (soon to be) boss said he had a special feeling about me. We didn't have any luck placing me with a company and I just kind of held on and waited. The last time I went to visit Tyler in September, I went to my boss's home to meet his wife and family because it is a small family business with awesome values. That interview was more about "me" rather than my 5 freaking internships and business stuff. He told me he was looking to hire some more people in the business. I asked if I could learn more about the company so last week I went to shadow him for the whole day and by 5:30 he offered me a job!

Do you see why I have been so stressed out all week? I didn't know what to do... All of my friends and family (well almost all of my friends are here) live in South Carolina. I wasn't ready to be a big girl and grow up and move halfway across the country. After a weekend of overwhelment (sorry for my new word) and some tears, pro-con lists, laughing, crying more, and thinking and PRAYING, I made the decision to take it. This is what I have been waiting for! Close to Tyler, a fulltime job (particularly in ag), Ah! Perfect. I slept on it a couple of days and took it yesterday. I kind of started telling people yesterday, but now I can let the world know!

PLEASE keep me in your prayers. Nov 1 is going to be here before I know it and I have SOOOO much to do before then. Until I get packing, I have lots going on at my internship (guess I will call it that now since I have a real job!). Stay tuned!

I'm really off to the land of CORN from the land of COTTON! Ah!!!
