holy BUCKETS it's been a traumatic two days!! but fear not. it's over. life is nothing but great again.

yesterday was: terrible.

by 2 pm: i had a headache. i was exhausted. i was starving. i didn't know what i was doing with my client that afternoon. and then i found out the girl i wanted to move in with, found someone else. i just wanted to cry. i seriously almost did. my sister texted me and asked me how i was and my response was 'i can't answer that right now, cuz i can't cry right now' yep. terrible. but then kyle said he knew what was wrong with my car. so i had one thing going for me.

by 8:30: i found out my car stereo was toast. totally and completely useless. and THEN i found out to buy a new one from Toyota it would cost over $1000. if i hadn't been with someone, i would've cried. it was like the straw that broke the camels back. just the cherry on top of a terrible, awful, very bad, no good day. but kyle took me out for ice cream and that helped. and just being not alone helped too. if i had just gone home. i would've cried. hands down. (about the stereo, it's okay, i'm gonna buy an aftermarket stereo and a dash kit and install a new one myself, so i wont be out of music for the next 100+ thousand miles left on my car. haha)

and then i watched 3 episodes of Top Gear. that helped. too.

and then today... i looked at jobs this morning. (since i would basically be out of a job come june) and then i looked at apartments some more. then off to work i went.

i got a call from DBH. the message was from my supervisor Jena. she said "marty (the director of Children and Youth) and herself would like to meet with me to talk about some things" my first thought I'M GONNA GET FIRED. you know, the way my life was going... that's all that was left. haha so i called them during my lunch break and I GOT OFFERED A JOB!!! they said i'm doing such a good job and they have heard so many good things about me, they wanted to offer me a 40 hr a week position as a Case Manager. it caught me SO off guard. i asked what they did, and what the hours would be. and it just overwhelmed me! i said i needed to think about it. I called mom and cried (of course) and we talked over some things.

i thought and prayed and prayed and prayed about it, and i decided i'd accept it! so i went in tonight... and they'd offered the 40 hour a week position to someone else. BUT they had a 25 hour a week position open. and it was afternoons/evenings (so i could keep my school job!!) AND when i get a few hundred hours, i'll have a SSW certification. idk what that is exactly, but i know it's good!! it'll look really REALLY good on grad school apps. and it'll give me great experience. AND it'll be a pay increase! AND there is a good chance that this summer a full time position would open up. it is totally, unbelievable!!! i can't WAIT. okay. i'm really nervous. because the job will be a lot of responisbility. but i am so so excited for the upgrade and the new things i'll learn and the new people i'll meet and all the help i'll be able to do.

i will now be working 47 a week. i will have no life. but it's okay. because i know this is what i am supposed to do.

alright. now i'm off to a celebratory dinner with Jodes!

love you all!!
