big changes.

Well I've got some exciting news. If you've haven't heard, I recently got offered a job as a graphic designer for a place called PowerSports Network. To be honest I didn't have too hard of a time accepting  the position almost immediately. I've been looking for something in my field for the past year and the right opportunity has finally come a long, not a moment too soon.

The past almost 3 years my home has been with Apple and I've enjoyed every minute of it. The people I work with are phenomenal. A group of lovable, caring, creative sorts who have been like my second family for the past 3 years. People have come and gone, but I still keep in contact with the majority of people I've made connections with at Apple. I will really miss every one of my co-workers.

But, I desperately needed a change and a new challenge in my life. It's kind of funny really but I've always connected my life with the quote, "When it rains, it pours." Because really that's how the past couple weeks have gone. The day before this job offer I was interviewing for an exciting position at Apple, and the week before and during the offer I was working with my bestest Colleen on revising my resume and cover letter in order to amp up the search for a job in my field both in Milwaukee and all over the country. Not to mention all of things happening with the wedding, Sydnee, and with my family. This job just sort of fell into my lap along with many other things.

I am very excited about starting my new job soon, but I do have some worries. Most of them however are outweighed by the great opportunity this job will bring for me. This will be the first time in almost 3 years that Chris and I will not be working at the same place. Most people think - you must get so sick of being around him all the time. But really that's not the case at all. Chris is one of my favorite people to work with and we actually work really great as a team at work. We are always helping each other out and he's always answering my questions on technology that are over my head. I will actually miss being around him all the time but the space could definitely benefit us. This will also be the first time in our 3 years of living together that we'll have a second car. Which means more independence for both of us and not having to drop each other off or pick each other up, (this I will not miss).

I am just so excited to be doing something in my field on a daily basis - something that I love and have passion and drive for. Hopefully this job will lead me to even greater opportunities, but for right now it's going to be the perfect fit for me.
