Ladies and Gentlemen...

I have a job.

I have been on the job hunt since May 15-ish. It was nearly an exactly 6 month long job hunt, when I was offered the job last night.  This job allows me to go home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This job pays decently. This job lets me be in my industry.

This job is a Sales Consultant at David's Bridal.

I am nothing less than grateful for it. If anything, I'm so relieved to stop hunting for awhile. I'm so happy to get to work with brides. I'm so many things.

I'm feeling judged. I won't pretend that I haven't noticed that most of my school friends have stayed silent. (Not you E. <3 ) I won't pretend that I didn't know that people wanted so badly for me to have a 'real' job. One with an office and e-mails and on and on... But what's more important to me is having a job. That I feel like I'll be good at and enjoy. Plus...there is an addition to the DB family, come February. A woman synonymous with wedding. A woman with class and style, who will bring DB a whole new customer.

VERA!

Finding joy, even in the common things of life....

365

Ever heard of Project 365?

The premise is that you take a photo a day for one year. It makes for a great keepsake, and it's fun to look back on! I've been wanting to do this, but I feel like I need a 'significant' date to start on.

Friends of mine have done:

-The year their husband is deployed.

-Their first year of marriage

-Senior Year of college

-First year Post-Grad.

I thought about doing 'our year together' , Starting the day Mr.DeLovely returned from the sandbox. However, I haven't taken enough pictures for that. (He's supposed to be home for the next year or so. By home, I mean the US. No promises on anything else.)

Mr.DeLovely thinks that I should start on our Anniversary(12/31!), and do our 2nd year of marriage. This just seems weird to me.

I thought about starting with the season opener for the dance team...but that also seems weird to me. And the season is only 6 months. Sooo then I have another 6 months that hang out awkwardly.

When I was feeling optomistic about job hunts, I was going to do my first year of work. I'd like to start sometime before the next ice age, so this doesn't really work. 

What do you think? Any suggestions on a date? Or should I let my brain let go of that and just pick a day and start?

xoxo,
