Things that have happened since may seventh.

 ---I didn't get the job, and got a little bummed about it - but only a little.
---Taste Addison with Sam and the Walkers.  We saw Freddy from Kiss FM (not so great) and Switchfoot (really great).  We saw a few Village peeps and then the dumb boys - who I haven't seen in years.  Had a great evening.
---Seminar on the Emergent Church at The Village.  Interesting, thought-provoking, but not as informative as I'd hoped.
---Wedding shower for Angie.  Fajitas and Margaritas, complete with a mariachi duo. 
---Mother's Day.  My first attempt at familial baking.  (That sounds weird.)  I made my grandmother's strawberry cake - my mom's favorite - for our big family lunch.  While I shouldn't have been that nervous, I was.  But it turned out just fine - quite yummy if I do say so myself.
---I subbed at a junior high for SPED.  New adventure and quite compelling at that.  I really really enjoyed it though.
---We dog-sat Molly for the Walkers.  What a crazy dog.  Made me want one.
---Excursion to Colorado with David and Jordan.  (Photos on facebook.)  We went to their "cousin" Heidi's Messianic Jewish wedding --- which was so darn cool.  I should've written a whole journal entry on this.  But I didn't.  Then we went camping for a few days.  My first time in a tent since I can't even remember.  Although, we didn't get to use the tent because of the rain.  But we had fun.  And I got sick.
---Healed up in record time - just enough to sing my first full weekend at church.  David and Josh W. played - so it was super fun.
---Watched the sixth-graders at Bebensee graduate, then spent my last day subbing.  Bittersweet event.  Walkinshaw said he would've had a job for me if we'd stayed in Arlington.  I cried after I left the kids.

Which brings me up to yesterday.  Yesterday I had my first official corporate America interview.  I've never ever ever wanted to go into the business world.  Ever.  But a friend of mine got my resume to the right people, and we set up the interview.  So I spoke with the recruiter for a little while (all the while feeling terribly incompetent) and then took a personality test.  She sent me over (with much enthusiasm) to the two managers of the department I would work in.  I spoke with them for a bit and then was sent back to the recruiter for further instructions.  Then I took what felt like an IQ test (blechk!!) for an hour, shook the recruiter's hand, and went on my way.

She called this morning and offered me the job - but I haven't accepted it yet.  Dave and I haven't had the chance to really discuss everything - and the hours don't match up well with his.  But it would be a 9-6 that I could leave at the office and not worry about on the weekends.....  ........  ................

Ugh.... I just don't know.  The fact that I'm not jumping for joy makes me feel like this isn't right.  But a big part of me feels like I should just try it.  I should just try it....
We'll see.

My brother's getting married tomorrow. 

"...to look for America."
