I hope everyone likes me!

Tomorrow I start my new job! The first day (well, like the first month acutally) of work is something that I don't like... it's kind of like the first day of school. You don't know what to expect. You don't know how nice everyone is going to be. I'm just anxious to get on a schedule!
I did buy a "new job" purse! YAY! My friend Aubrey and I went to some fabulous outlet stores in Vacaville. The purse I REALLY wanted was at the Burberry outlet and was on "sale" for $849. Yeah, a little out of my price range... I found a really cute one at the Guess outlet store for exactly what I budgeted. Go me!

FINALLY!

Good news of the week - I got a job! YAY! I will be working for Coldwell Banker as an executive assistant in their San Ramon, CA office. I will be supporting the president of the western region, the president of the San Francisco region and the COO for the western region. I'm really excited about this opportunity!
I actually got two job offers on Friday (not to toot my own horn or anything...). Obviously one was from Coldwell Banker and the other was from Union Bank for an Administrative Assistant III. Both were excellent choices and both offered the same salary but I had to do some thinking about what I wanted in my life, how this job would affect me five, ten years from now. Now the hard part comes tomorrow morning when I have to call Union Bank and tell them I am declining their offer....
California is going really well. The weather out here is great and I'm really starting to find my way around. I've made a few friends and am excited to make even more! California is SO different than Utah in so many different ways. Now that I have a job, this move out here seems so much more real.
Thank you so much to everyone for your love and support!

Oh PS - My congratulatory gift to myself is a new purse - I will post a picture when I get one!
