MORE TO COME!


So JD and I went to Jackson for a mini vacation and of course another scope trip. I had a few interviews to push through, then climb climb climb some rock rock rock. Didn't expect too much from the job front-I wasn't worried this time around-I knew I would walk away with a job. What I didn't anticipate was that I would walk away with some amazing offers, having to weigh my options and pick one. As well as being offered one of the most amazing opportunities that just seemed to fall into my lap. Before we left Big Sky, I had emailed my resume to some restaurants to grab a quick waitress job to make rent until I found the real deal, but I guess one restaurant in particular saw something more than just your average "can I take your order-girl" in me! I sat down to breakfast with the owner on Saturday morning not knowing what to expect and also not too interested. But then she offered me the FOH Mgr/HR/Event Coordinator position for the Cadillac Grille. Ummm-exqueeze me!!!! Did I just hear you offer-my dream job? Yah. So I slept on it until Monday before I had breakfast with the other owners to discuss details and thought about...well everything in my life past and present-decisions I have made in the past, directions I could have taken and what was in front of me now! It became a no brainer-wow I must be growing up-because I feel like I have had amazing opportunities slap me in the face before and I had always taken the "ski bum" route and picked the easier option B with less responsibility and more play time. Don't know how or when it happened-but this option didn't seem like much of a sacrifice-its what I want to do, makes me happy and I will still get to play from time to time-oh yeah and I will make some major buck while I'm at it! Have my priorities changed or did I just become an adult? Ok, I may be an adult-but I refuse to ever grow up!
