New Job!

I know, I know... I started my new on Monday, and I still haven't posted about it! I've been bad. But I feel like I haven't even had time to breathe! Monday night we had premarital counseling, Tuesday night a bunch of us went to see Chris and Anne spent the night, Wednesday Anthony and I went out to dinner, and here we are.

But you probably don't care about all of those details. My new job has been great! I've been extremely surprised at how easily I've been able to adjust and fit in. I had someone come in to train me for the first half of my first day, and since then I've been pretty much on my own. It's been slow, too. The director of career services is on vacation this week, so that might be part of the reason I haven't had as much to do. The students aren't here yet either (with the exception of the RA's who come today). But the slower pace has allowed me to learn things and get used to some of the programs they use.

Everyone has been super nice. They have a "women's wednesday" where all the women in the administration building are invited to go out to lunch at Tradewinds. So I went with a group of about 5 other women. It was a lot of fun, though a bit weird to be on the other side of things. It's also been a lot of fun being located between Student Development and R&P. People are always coming in to say hi. Sherry Weldy is hilarious (she's in the office with me), and we have a good time. And, of course, it's great to be near Anthony. We had lunch together today, which is an added bonus.

All this to say that everything has been great, and I think I will really like the job.

I also really like the Olympics! I wish I could watch more, but I've been so busy! I think the women's gymnastics is on tonight, so I want to try and stay up for it. I don't know what it is about the Olympics, but it somehow causes me to want to watch all these sports that I normally pass by any other time. I think Anthony thinks it's a little strange that I get so into it, but he's learning to deal with it ;)

I think that's about all I have for today!

Blessings!
