Great day

Yesterday, Jon and I went to the Social Security office to legally change my last name. Jon picked me up on his lunch break and we went to the address of where the place was suppose to be. Of course it was NOT there. :( Once again the Iphone came in handy as I googled the Social Security office. There was a 2nd address. We typed it into the GPS only for it to take us ALL around Opelika. We FINALLY found it, walked in, took a number, figured out that was going to be 45 minute wait, and LEFT! I was so bummed! I was so excited about changing my name! Oh well, I would just have to be a Fry until the next morning! :)
While I was in the Social Security Office I got a call from Auburn 1st Baptist about a job I had applied for. They wanted to set up an interview for friday afternoon. Sadly, Jon and I are heading out of town friday morning for Jon to go on his "man weekend!" I asked if there was anyway that we could do it on thursday afternoon. They said that was fine and I was so excited!
So, this morning I got up by myself and went to the Social Security Office. This time there were MORE people that were there yesterday. I even got there 30 mins after they had opened! I was already #24!! In sane. But, anyways, after 45 minutes it was FINALLY my turn. I am now officially Katie Cullen! I am waiting on my Social Security card to get here! That way it will be eaiser to start changing my name on everything else! As mom likes to say "Katie Cullen has a nice RING to it!" ;-) Good one mom!
So after that I had plenty of time to come home and relax before my interview. I finished the first Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants book! LOVED it! It only took me 2 days to read it. It was very good and I highly recommend it! I have started the 2nd one! I am hooked!
I went on to my interview at 3:30. I found a great parking space. I went in and literally was probably there for all of 10 minutes. The director told me that there were more interviews and that I would know something tomorrow. I walked out feeling like I hadn't gotten the job. I was so disappointed. Discouraged. Tired of looking for a job. Tired of interview. ETC ETC ETC!
I called my mom all down in the dumps and she was her usual Glass Half Full self! I was still discouraged and convinced that I hadn't I had gotten it!
I came home cooked a yummy dinner! Baked Chicken, Mimis brown rice, cream corn, and biscuits. We had JUST finished doing the dishes when I got a phone call. It was the director from AFBC! She said that she had made her decision a little early....
SHE OFFERED ME THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOHOOOOOO! I've never felt such relief before. I have stressed about not having a job ALL week.
I am just going to have to know there is not a perfect job out there and DEAL with this one. I am working in the 18-24 month aged class. I am hoping maybe this kids aren't talking back yet. HAHA!
Jon and I are heading to Birmingham after I go fill out some paperwork at AFBC. He is dropping me off there then heading to Huntsville to meet up with his old roomies. They are going to a new state park called "The Walls of Jericho" that is between Alabama and Tennessee. I am going to miss him this weekend, but I know he will have a great time with his old roomies! ;)
Alright, I hope you all have a great weekend!

Blessings and Peace..
