Anxiety

Three cheers for gainful employment!

So on Wednesday, July 5 I will have my first day as a Development Manager for the Arizona chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. I've been trying desperately not to think about it for the past two weeks because I didn't want to end up disappointed but I also didn't want to jinx myself into not getting it. In any case, I couldn't imagine a better first real job.

From what I understand, my main responsibilities will be helping to coordinate the annual walk and bike that raise money for the foundation, as well as planning smaller events in between. It's the highly detail-oriented work I love, and the best part is that it is for a cause that I really feel like I can get behind.

In any case, I feel very grateful for the opportunity and I cannot wait to get started! Also, our new place is awesome and we are already feeling right at home here. We were very appreciative of everyone's help with the move, and we felt very lucky that Nate spent his whole vacation here putting together IKEA furniture. (I promise if you come back in 8-10 weeks, we'll just do fun things.)

I'm trying to think of something sarcastic or cynical to say, because happy blogging is just not me, but right now I'm drawing a blank. :-)
