Because you all want to know...

Okay so maybe not everyone wants to know but some of you want to know...about this lunch I went to on Wednesday. Well it all started about 3 weeks ago. My mom told me about a job opening at the Comfort Suites in St. Charles off of 5th Street. The position they are trying to fill is for Assistant General Manager(AGM). I am more than qualified and could not wait to send my resume to the General Manager(GM). So that's what I did. This past Monday the GM called me and we had a phone interview which went really well. She told me about the AGM position and what all it would entail. We talked about benefits, hours, and the hotel itself. At the end of the conversation she asked if I would be able to meet with her and her boss later in the week or next week. I let her know when I was available and she said she get back to me. Not 10 minutes later she called me back and asked if I could meet her and Kevin, her boss, for lunch on Wednesday. After the great phone interview and then this I was ecstatic!!!! This made my whole week!

So the next couple of days were full of anticipation, excitement, and butterflies in my stomach. After thinking long and hard on what to wear and doing some more research on the company and coming up with more questions to ask at lunch I was ready.

Fast forward to Wednesday....the morning leading up to the lunch was normal. The nerves began on my drive there. I was to meet Kevin and Natalee, the GM, at Trailhead at 12pm. Once I arrived and we sat down for lunch the interview began. Kevin asked me questions about my past work experience. They both told me more about the company and its benefits again. We talked about the training for the AGM position. The training would most likely start at the Fairview Heights, IL location and then after 5-6 weeks of training I would transfer to the St. Charles Location. There is a little tricky situation with the AGM position see...they haven't let the current AGM go and the GM is going on vacation in the beginning of October and another full time employee is going out for surgery. So there is A LOT of moving around that is going to have to take place before they can bring me on board which is why starting at Fairview Heights is okay by me. Starting there would mean I would get to start earlier than originally expected. So as I left lunch I felt really positive about the job.

I am again back to the waiting game. At least this time I have a job to keep me busy...well kinda. I am only working a couple days a week for now. I like my job at the Doubletree so my guess is you are wondering why I would change jobs....for the salary and benefits of course! And this is a great opportunity. I would get so much experience about the hotel. I would be looking over the front desk, training new hires, keeping up with housekeeping, and doing paperwork for the hotel. So even though it will heard to leave the Doubletree its well worth it. I am hoping to hear from Natalee at Comfort Suites in the next 2 weeks. I will of course keep you all informed on whats going on.

I am so amazed at God's blessing. I keeping praying He will provide and He keeps on providing. God is so good!!

Aside from myself and my interview life is good. David and I are working on fixing his grandparents house up along with him mom and dad. We have been busy painting and sorting at the house. If all goes well we will have the house ready for sale in the next month. David is also been busy with work and EMT classes. He is really enjoying EMT classes and that makes me so happy! David and I are still attending Morning Star Church. Later this month we are going to attend Open Mike night where Pastor Mike will share the church's history, values, mission, and answer any questions. I think this will be a good way for us to get started on becoming members of Morning Star. We are truly enjoying Morning Star and are excited to become more involved.

Well I think this post has become long enough...and I can smell my peanut butter chocolate cookies baking in the oven. I must get to them! Love to you all and please keep praying for this wonderful job opportunity.
