IT'S OFFICIAL!!!!

I start my new job in Justin, Tx on April 18th!!!!! I had a long phone call with Anne (the President) this evening and all systems are go! You are reading the blog of the newest Junior Account Executive at Cultivate Agency. 

Feelings I am experiencing: FEAR, excitement, nervous, happy, pride, sense of accomplishment, fear, anxiety, fear...do you see a pattern?!

I think I am going to absolutely love my job. I feel like this is where I am supposed to be. It feels as if someone hit the fast forward button on life. This is what I have been waiting on and it is finally here. With great opportunity comes great responsibility, and this is a sink or swim option ladies and gents!

I think I am going to look back on this spring as one of the fondest periods in my life. Its been challenging in many ways I never could have foreseen, but the positives tipped the scale. Running on spring evenings with my sister, my porch swing, mom bringing me coffee upstairs when I am running late for work, long drives to my part time job to clear my head and get focused for the day, the way wild wisteria smells during the two weeks it blooms in the woods behind our house, and meeting someone that quite possibly might change my life forever. Growing up is happening all at one time and as scared as I am...I'm ready. I say that with the confidence that comes from practicing it in the mirror every day for the last three months. If you tell yourself something long enough, you believe it and it materializes right into your life; just how you always dreamed it would. 

New favorite book: The Paris Wife....AMAZING book. Obsession is a bit of an understatement for the way I feel about this novel written through the eyes of Hadley (Hemingway's first of four wives). I am TOTALLY nerdy and underline my favorite lines in books. Most literary works do well to have a few sentences underlined in my cherished blue felt tipped pen, BUT this book has notes, lines and lines highlighted, and entire sections copied into my journal. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read it. It lets you escape into a world that our generation knows nothing of; 1920's Prohibition. Wikipedia Ernest Hemingway before you begin the book, and you'll disappear even further into the mind of one of America's moat eclectic and brilliant novelists.

Song of the Moment: All This Time - OneRepublic

***I have a n extremely important blog (to me) coming up due to recent events. However I am still processing said events,  and will put them into text as soon as I feel ready. It is amazing to have the opportunity to solidify changes He has made in us, in very tangible ways. I am not sure I will even begin to articulate it accurately. So keep an eye out :) ***

Always,

Ms. Amanda Grace
