Got the job

Wow….so much mixed emotion right now. A little surreal. Got a phone call at noon today and it was the Manager at "the Grocery Store" telling me they would love to hire me. She said it was a resounding YES around the table and the second I left the interview they all said “I really like her…let’s pick her”. She said they loved my charm, demeanor and passion and they would love to have me in the store. She said that me coming to Chicago definitely calmed her nerves of taking the risk to hire someone from out of town. Also told me about the risk of hiring someone not that familiar with the company but have confidence that I will be great. So I have some research and studying to do so that I can prove her right. It is gonna be a big challenge at first and I am definitely scared but I’m not one to turn that down as much as I am tempted sometimes :) At the moment my excitement is covered by a large amount of sadness about not going back to live with one of my bestest friends, Caro. Also, a little nervous and scared about the idea of moving to another unfamiliar city, friendless again but would you really expect any different from me? Me neither :) Accepting change is hard but pretty inevitable. At least I have some great family out here, the job is a great opportunity and I get to do something I love. Still doesn’t make it any easier to not go back to Germany but nothing would. So right now I will take a little time to be a sad and the excitement will surface later. This is a job that I have been one day hoping for and I guess now is the time. God knows what’s best. So needless to say, it will be great but I have lots to think about and prepare for in the coming days. Thank you so much for all your support and prayers. As I sit here awaiting the train (it’s delayed a couple hours), I’m just trying to process it all. Wishing I had a companion for the trip to West Glacier cause I’m “needing a shoulder” but will be good to reflect and relax I suppose. A little emotionally exhausted right now so those of you that I haven’t talked to, I apologize and I will talk to you soon. Need a little time as my direction has become more clear. Back to Montana and should be at Levi’s in Kalispell Thursday night.
