Busy October

It's barely October, and already extremely busy...where to begin? Cody's sister, Jessica, came and stayed with us for a few days. We were able to see a lot of the city that we haven't seen yet. It was nice to have her here to spend time with. I think Cody and I get so used to it just being us, since that's the way it's been for the past 2 years, that we forget how much we enjoy our family's company. Macy enjoyed having a visitor in the house as well..another person to give her attention and affection :) I had a job interview come up while Jess was here. She was very helpful with prepping me for this position, which means I got the job! I am so excited! I start my training for 2 weeks on Monday. Then hit the ground running full force after that..I am so ready for this. My official title is an account executive, but pretty much I am a sales executive trying to get advertisers to use our company through the internet. This job is going to be huge for me! I'm so excited to finally be branching out of my education degree. Don't get me wrong, I have no regrets about getting the degree that I got, but now it's time to prove myself in the business world..and of all places to start...Manhattan, New York!!! I am so grateful for this opportunity. There are people that would kill to have this opportunity that I've been given. I can only go up from here. I'm so excited to see where this new career takes me! The best part about getting this job is that I got it completely on my own! I had no connections whatsoever in New York that helped me get this position..it was all me with a little coaching from my hubby and sis-in-law :) I have more exciting news...my Aunt Robin and 2 cousins, Megan & CJ are coming to visit us from DC this weekend. CJ is my cousin who was injured in Afghanistan. He is doing so great, and is finally in out-patient, so they decided to take a little trip from DC to come see us. Looks like we will be doing more site-seeing and exploring the city again this weekend!
