I got a job!

Hi girls,

I just wanted to let you all know that I finally got a job! I am the new Donor Services Coordinator for the Greater Cincinnati Alzheimer's Association! I went in today to meet with the Executive Director and they offered me the position immediately following that meeting, which I was not expecting! To make things even crazier, I start TOMORROW and the first event is Saturday! I'm very excited but also nervous. This is by far their busiest time and I'm just going to have to hit the ground running. I'm sure it will be fine but also crazy stressful. Just wanted to quickly let you all know!! See you soon!

I miss you!

Hi!

I hope everyone is off enjoying their summers and SHARK WEEK! I miss everyone dearly. I want to let you all know that I passed my boards, so I'm officially an RN! I can't even tell you how good it feels to finally be able to say "I'm an nurse" rather than "I'm in nursing school (blah blah blah)"

Eric and I are moving to Memphis the 20th. We have yet to find a place to live. This is what happens when you leave a job for a man ; ). We are trying to buckle down and find a place tomorrow. I am really starting to get excited about the move. After living with our families this summer, I'm looking forward to some alone time, you know? I start school the 24th. I am looking forward to it, but in typical Maria (worry-wart) fashion, I am nervous about how I will do, as I have no experience in the work field. I have faith that everything will work out, it just might take some extra effort. I am still in therapy for my knee and am unable to run, so I really want to start doing yoga to get my strength up. Enrolling in a class at a gym is one of the first things I want to do when I get to Memphis. I will tell you this summer hasn't really felt like much of a summer though... from studying for boards to studying for grad school there really hasn't been a break. So to celebrate graduation (and obtaining a huge loan) from grad school, I want to plan a fun sun-filled vacation. Of course, you are all invited! Maybe we should take my new passport for a joy ride! Ideas? It's never too early to start planning ; )

I will get to see Amy on Saturday. Eric bought us two kayaks this summer (so I can get some exercise) and we are planning on taking them out at Ryland. And LC and LP will be meeting me at Fogata this Thursday. So, I am glad I get to see a few of you before I venture out into the real world (though a full 1806 reunion would be incredible). I really feel so lucky to have all 5 of you in my life. It feels so good to have solid friendships that I know will be life-long. Maria, where are you moving to? I have not heard much about what new events are taking place in your life. And Erin, how is the new job?!

I love you all. Please visit me (as soon as I find a place!)

Love, MJ
