Month in Rewind

Happy Saturday everyone! Boy, am I glad that it is officially a 3 Day Weekend! This past week was long but fast! Yeah...that doesn't make too much sense.  Anyways, my posts have been lagging (again)! But for good reason more or less.  I began a new J-O-B!!!!!!  My first day was the 23rd of April, so this was officially my month anniversary this week:-)  Time to play some catch up with what has happened.

I have worked for the same company going on 7 years in JULY. Crazy how time simply flies by! I worked in a photo lab at my local grocery store.  Some people often said, "WHY did you stick around for so long?!?" My response to everyone: I LOVED IT.  Mostly, because of the people.  7 years is a long time (almost a decade!) and in the seven year period, I became acquainted with the nicest of people.  My coworkers and my customers have all left an impact on me somehow, and I will forever be so grateful!

[This is a little collage of my last day! My coworkers up top in my department, my going away cake from the store, my "last supper" from my chef, flowers from another manager, and my best friend in the store! What a wonderful day:-) Everyone made my day so special! From all of the words of encouragement from my customers and coworkers, all the hugs I received, to my special lunch from my best friend, to my going away cake and flowers, to my angel Mary announcing over the intercom that "BECCA is MOVING ON UP!!!" They sure made me feel special!]

In February, I began the application process for a new position with the same company:-) Can't seem to get away, huh? Anyways, one of my colleagues had recommended a position, and encouraged me to apply.  It seemed like forever until I heard back from them, but in the end everything worked out! Here I am, 1 month past my first official day, and I am officially a full time working girl.  Which is really good actually, because I would have been coming up on 1 year past graduation, and I put a deadline for myself that if I didn't have a full time job by a year, I was going to be veryyyyy upset/disappointed/insert me having a breakdown here.

[ A little blurry, and I look a little sleepy, but this was the beginning on April 23rd!!]


So far the new position is GREAT. Long days and hours, but I enjoy what I am doing, and I love the individuals that I am working with.  Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming, that I couldn't be happier to take this new step in my life! I am on the road everyday, all day, but that has helped me become better with directions (YES!!!) and has given me long trips to think about life and where I stand (WIN-WIN!).  I look forward to the coming months with my new job and hope that it continues to go well.  Thanks to everyone for all of your support, encouragement, and love<3

Hopefully, I can continue to cruise on this journey! Literally, the miles are racking up on my '99 car! Hang in there baby, mama's not ready to give you up!

Always love,
Becca
