Ever notice how everything happens at once? Well, I'm not sure how many times I've sent out my resume but I've always gotten the same response..."We were impressed by the quality of applicants, but you weren't one of them." So finally, I got a call from Columbia College at the beginning of May to come in for an interview! Once I got back from DC, I met with them about the job and did pretty well, but unfortunately was beat out by two internal hires. After that, I found a position online at a local pediatric dentist office so I sent in my resume. They called back for references and a phone interview, then I didn't hear from them for 2 weeks, even though I called several times to get the status on the position. THEN, I get a call from Columbia offering me the Evaluator position. Still no word from the dentist, I call Columbia to accept, only to be called in for an interview at with the dentists the next day!
I put in my 2 weeks with my office, so I start on the 1st, even though I'm still in the running for the dental assistant position. I got called in to shadow and meet the rest of the staff today and get a feel for the office pace/environment. If only I had a long term goal other than family and happiness, it's be a much easier decision to make. I'm still hoping the answer will come to me during one of my runs, but not yet.
While all this job stuff is going down, I've managed to get 2 more properties under contract and 2 rented. I had one closing on the 18th (Happy Birthday Dad) and another one tomorrow morning! I've also had some very exciting weekends! The 11-13 was the Cox Clan reunion in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. Family from Texas and Missouri meet in the middle and rent boats, cabins, and play lots of dominoes. Great meals, hot weather, cold drinks, and late nights with my cousins and siblings is always a great time!
The weekend on the 19th was Columbia based but very eventful! The Hall's came to town, which is always a great time. We went to the winery, Agave for dinner, downtown, then the regular sleep-over back at J & L's! I fall more in love with my friends every time we hang out...which is often.
This past weekend took place in KC. It was the Hayles turn to host the MONSTER family reunion this year. Meaning not just my cousins, but my mom's cousins as well. If we were to take a picture of the family this past weekend, it'd be about 3X bigger than the picture above. To top off my family weekend back home, I got to go to the Royals/Cardinals game at Kauffman Stadium with Shelby on Sunday. And what's even better is that we WON 3-10 winning the Series! *Side note: My friends bought a chuck of tickets, drove in Saturday morning at 7:30, tailgated until noon, when they realized the tickets were for SUNDAY'S game! :)
I have been running around Stankowski at nights, when the weather is cooler. I'm up to 3 miles comfortably and still feeling good afterward. Even though I'm covered in bug bites, I can tell I'm improving and am getting really excited!
