Those 4 Words I Was Waiting To Hear


It has been an awesome week. Long, but awesome. 
Now we are beginning a 
3 day staycation weekend? Ah, perfection.



In honor of the long weekend, I am linking up with 
for High Five For Friday!

Let's recap on the awesomeness of this past week, shall we?
After all, it's not every week you are asked
those
4 words you've been waiting to hear.

1) I got to spend a super fun day at The Greensboro Children's Museum
with Mr. Spots, his kiddo, his sister, husband, and the twins!
While they played,
so did I...



 2) I received the Save the Date
for The Skin Cancer Foundation Gala!
(No pictures, sorry!) 

3) I booked an interview with a local news channel
to share details on how I have used this blog
to promote skin cancer awareness.

4) I actually slept through the night.
*OK, I got up to pee once. 
(Just once is unusual. Smallest bladder ever!)

5) I have important news to share...
and I can't focus on anything 
until I tell you........


 I heard that 4 word question that
I had been hoping and wishing to hear:
"When can you start?"


I GOT THE JOB!


Starting September 24, 2012
I will be a full-time employee for
the local
Veterans Administration Medical Center.

 I have wanted to work for them since I graduated from college,
and I finally, finally, finally
got a job there.

While I love the company I work for,
and all of our prosthetic patients,
I really feel like I can make a difference 
at the veterans hospital.

...even if all I do is help them smile.
I want to give back to those
who give so much for us.




Go enjoy your weekend!

I am celebrating by going to bed early tonight.
I'm beat!

Have a wonderful and safe labor day weekend.
Don't forget the sunscreen!
XOXO

You have already made a difference in so many people's lives! You will offer much more than your smile, but that is very important part you! The VA is lucky to have you!
