rejection

I didn't get the other job I really, REALLY, really wanted.

This is the response I got:

It was very nice to meet with you yesterday and discuss the _____ opportunity at ____. I was extremely impressed with your personality and qualifications. I think that you would do a great job in this position. It was extremely difficult to make a decision between you and one of the other candidates. Unfortunately, we have decided to offer this position to a candidate that has been involved with _____ for four years as a volunteer trip leader.

I wish I had another position to offer you but I will keep your resume on file and should another position become available I will contact you.

SO now what? I feel so discouraged and don't know where to look. I would really like to be able to pay my bills and move back into my condo. As for the last few hours I feel like a failure at life.

The funny thing is I know I'm not a failure. I know that there is probably because a better path, one that will be better for me and that I will love more. I would sure appreciate it presenting itself.... soon. Maybe even tonight? Why Yes I do like control. So universe here is what I want:

- A company that I believe in what they are doing
- Something that I love: work with teenagers, travel, events, or training
- It supports me generously and allows me to save for the future

I'd really appreciate feeling like I'm in control of something and a job.

a date

so tonight I went on a date. A real one where the boy called a week in advance, asked me to reserve Saturday evening. Called me in the middle of the week to solidify the plans, picked me up, payed for it, planned it and the only thing I had to do was be at my house when he picked me up. That part was refreshing.

He was really nice and easy to talk and we had fun. I was myself and felt very comfortable.

Problem: I love a different boy. A boy that consumes my thoughts and time often. I was trying very hard to stay in the moment and really give this date boy a chance. then he took me to this place that the reminded me of the boy I love. And all I wanted to do was be with the boy I love.

Dating and love is so tricky. the end

job situation

I have done an amazing job at enjoying my summer while job hunting and having faith that the right thing will come alone until.... Tuesday.

I broke down. I felt the stress fall into place realizing that I'm almost out of money and options. So... I wrote a bunch of cover letter and applied for more stuff. I just feel like at 26 when you have an MBA you should be able to at least get an entry level job somewhere right? And maybe even one you like?

Someone please send me the job fairies who gives me something I will enjoy and cover my life expenses.

Kenny Chesney

Ky, April and I went to Kenny... he is amazing. We loved it!

Park City, St. George, Cedar City, Vegas, Park City

That's what my week looked like. Casey and Brandon bought the week at cabin in park city at our charity auction in December so this week was the week! We started off last Sunday night at the cabin with a bunch of friends. I stayed until Tuesday morning hanging with all my favorite boys. Went on an amazing run Morning that cleared my head and reminded me that life is going to work out better than expected.

Tuesday Kylee and I went down to St. George and had Cafe Rio and nelsons custard for dinner. Then we headed over to Tuachan to see Grease. We ran into a bunch of my students from Lone Peak who were there for student council camp. I love them. It was great to see them. Then we drove back to Cedar City to our hotel.

Kylee had a conference in Cedar Wed- Fri so we had a free room :) We stayed in Cedar Wednesday and went to a local joint for dinner. I started writing cover letters and job hunting.

Thursday we went on a day trip to Vegas and went shopping, to the movie Midnight in Paris, dinner and then our favorite club LAX. Go see Midnight in Paris it was charming and clean and I loved, loved, loved it!

We came home Friday and I re- packed and headed back to Park City with Lauren. We went to dinner and laughed and had a great time. She left early in the morning and I was left with the boys :) Robert, Casey and Ryan. We made breakfast and then hit the pool. Later Casey and I hiked to the top of the mountain and rode the lift down. Later Kylee met up with us and we went dinner and then headed back to the cabin to my favorite spot. There was this balcony and I loved to sit and watch the stars. The boys came out and chatted with me.
